Pork loin/tenderloin labeling question I'm missing something here, maybe someone here can clarify this.
It was one of those rare occasions that my girlfriend was cooking dinner and was following a recipe for two glazed pork tenderloins. (Yes, I know that I'm a lucky guy). Then she said that she'd f&$#@d up and gotten two pork loins. This was while she was roasting them, and about the time I'd arrived at the house. I looked in the oven, and the two cuts in the glass baking dish appeared to be either two big tenderloins, or two pretty small loins. The label (after fishing it out of the trash) read:
pork loin
tenderloin up
I'm of the opinion that they were big tenderloins. There was no huge silverskin, but they were HUGE for tenderloins. If they were whole pork loins they were really small and I was lucky to eat such a young porker.
It was delicious, either way, with a glaze made from my beekeeping uncles dark honey.
Anyway, what does this label "pork loin/tenderloin up" mean?
Thanks to a fellow omnivore in advance-
