pork bones

Swine skeletal remains

Pork bones are the skeletal parts of a pig, typically sold for cooking.

They're prized for making rich stocks and broths, as the marrow and connective tissue add body and flavor: She simmered pork bones for hours to make ramen broth.

Neck bones, spare rib tips, and ham hocks are common cuts sold specifically for their bones.
