riblets
Small rib cuts
Riblets are small, narrow cuts of pork ribs, typically from the breast or loin area, with less meat than traditional spare ribs.
They're a popular appetizer at American casual dining restaurants, usually served glazed with barbecue sauce: We ordered riblets and loaded potato skins.
The word also refers to small parallel ridges on a surface designed to reduce drag, as on aircraft or swimsuits.
