RE: Backstrap vs tenderloin
It is obvious that the whole backstrap/tenderloin is a term used indiscriminately and interchanged by some. The previous 2 processors I usedalways called the large rolls along the outer back tenderloins (just like the hog tenderloins you get at the store). But just this weekend I helped a buddy get his "backstraps" out of a doe. He did not even know of this cut and had always called the big logs on the back "backstraps". Lack of clarity can cause confussion.
