where do pork chops come from on a pig
Pork chop A pork chop, like other meat chops, is a loin cut taken perpendicularly to the spine of the pig and usually containing a rib or part of a vertebra. Pork chops are not processed and are leaner than other cuts of pork.[1] Chops are commonly served as an individual portion.[2]
Feral pig The practice of introducing domestic pigs into the New World persisted throughout the exploration periods of the 16th and 17th centuries.[8] The Eurasian wild boar (S. s. scrofa), which originally ranged from Great Britain to European Russia, may have also been introduced.[9] By the 19th century, their numbers were sufficient in some areas such as the Southern United States to become a common game animal.
