No reason personally @Henarar , but it makes for difficult selling, besides which the bone adds up to quite a bit of money, too.

I'll tell you tonight
- chef says we're having one between us for tea.Some talk of taking the bone out and cooking it like a steak??
Not sure on the technicalities as what goes on in the kitchen is way above my pay grade.

This was my half... 
....
....well, I maybe had the biggest half but Mrs YB said she'd got more than enough.
Looks like the bone stayed in
Came with roast tates, parsnips, carrots, cabbage, caramelised onions and gravy

tesco tweet....apparently there is a shortage of british pork due to the late cereal harvest
edit..i took 'harvest' to mean cereal ...thus late corn thus late pork.....but it seems tesco meant 'pork harvest'

£4.81 kg in Sainsbury’s for British. And Sainsbury’s not known for being a cheap place to shop.

Hardly off out of spec pigs, are they? They must be tiny or paper thin?

They’re normally fairly thin from experience

Will cook like shoe leather. The best thing to do with them would be to dice them and put in a curry, cheap meal for the family.
Pork loin needs to be thick and on the bone as a chop to cook well in my opinion.
If you want a pork steak use shoulder steaks, they have enough fat in to cook well, will be more tender and juicy.
M & S free range pork loin steaks £15 per kilo wonder how much of the difference between the two the farmer sees?

Agree. Our Pork loin steaks are £15/kg,too. In our case, the farmer sees all of it. In all honesty, I'd rather sell loins as Bacon as that is more money again.

M&S are supplied by xxxxxxxxx. There are no farmers.

And the problem is that the greater public will believe this.
