Figure 58.—Removing flank edge.

Loin chops are made by cutting perpendicular to the backbone ([fig. 59]). Usually chops are cut ¾ of an inch to an inch thick. Doubles or “English” loin chops are made from a loin which has not been split ([fig. 60]). The flank portion may be ground or made into stew.
