Yup, in Hungary I saw whole butchers' counters neatly stacked with the bits of pig that I'd buy for my dogs at home.
There were trotters, tails, ears, snouts and halved heads. The offal was in a separate display.

Didn't spot the ribs for sale tbough. I don't think Hungarians went for them.
My local butcher here sells them for pennies along with other bones but you have to be up before the canny Chinese shoppers!

I've heard it said that you can use every part of a pig including the squeak, which they put in balloons.
