I think here they are called pork riblets(sometimes) and pork rib ends and pieces. . .
I just bbq 'em, low and slow. Or I roast them high and quick; very tasty, not-too-tough, with a nice crisp to them. You could use them for seasoning beans, or, like my mother used to, pan broil them on top of the stove. Stew them with sauerkraut would be "classic" German use for them.
