It's a conspiracy....
Time to make the man eat dinner blindfolded! I used to look for light-colored meat, the whitest of porks...then I learned that the darker the meat the more flavor there is. The tenderloin part on a T-bone, whether pork or beef, is the more tender, the more flavorful, the more scrumptious part. If he insists on leaving the blindfold off you could always offer to let him have the other side of your bone and you'll take that yucky-looking dark side off his hands.... My picky husband doesn't like the piece of tenderloin that's attached. He looks for the ones that don't have it. He just doesn't like the way it looks.
I'm LOL because I know you people think I'm married to a real nut job. LOL After 33 years, I'm just used to him.
You guys are killing me here
Go back three years and I'll bet you'll find a post about me saying I can't find "regular" pork chops anymore, the kind I grew up with. And you have them crawling into your cart... Frenched even!
Now we do have the family package of "assorted chops", which includes a couple that look like something I'd serve to company, but chops around here are loinless Unless they are hiding them from me. I'll bet that's it.
I will never buy those "assorted" chops again. They're just leftover pieces, all cut to different sizes from different primal cuts and the individual chops are rarely evenly cut. Just a waste of money to me.
By loinless you meant boneless, right?
A chop, by definition, is cut from the ribs (loin) of the hog. They're all from the rib area. Assorted chops are those cut from the ends of the loin (primal cut) where the eye of the chop consists of a couple of different muscles rather than one muscle nearer the center of the loin. They aren't pretty but pan seared then smothered with onion gravy and served with mashed potatoes they are a treat.

And he's not a nut job. He's just found a wife willing to put up with all his little quirks. Or BIG quirks.
