    Oh, good, now as long as I'm familiar w. cuts of beef whose names have nothing to do w. what part of the animal is being used, I can apply that to pork. And then, I can apply the pork name to a piece of chicken. "I've got an old recipe here that calls for chicken legs. All I have in the fridge are flat irons. Will those work?"

    Oh well, I'm sure there will be an app that can sort it out.

    Interesting. Canadian stores use different terms for some cuts than American stores so I've always had to really look at the piece I'm thinking of buying as I buy in both countries. 
    The "new" pork T-Bone chop is often called a double loin chop (loin and tenderloin) or bone in chop by my local butcher. When I ask him for it, I have always asked for a pork "T-Bone", so maybe I like this.....

    apparently we're too stupid to decipher names... why not just label it beef and pork
