Good discussion - wish I'd seen this sooner so I could have posted sooner. Here's a little education thing I did a number of years ago and the last picture on this page (figure 10) is what is being referred to as the tenderloins. Note the location.

I learned when I shot my first hog that there are two cuts that are referred to: Loins and tender loins. Loins being the long strip on the back (backstraps) and the tenderloins are the ones on the inside. If you go to a grocery store you can see the different cuts of pork. You will see the loins are much larger then the tenderloins. __________________

Exactly. Loins and tenderloins. We call the larger loins backstrap, but they are technically loins. The little inside meats are tenderloins.


BTW - I've used 6 different butchers over the years and have never had one take the tenderloins or loins. They always ask how we want them, whole, chops or butterfly.
