Raw Barnsley chop — Lamb Loin cut

A double-loin chop cut across the saddle of the lamb, including both loin eyes plus the central spinal bone. A British butcher's tradition associated with Yorkshire — particularly the town of Barnsley — and much thicker than a single loin chop (typically 2–3 centimetres). The two loin eyes meet at the bone forming a butterfly shape on the plate. Served grilled or pan-fried medium-rare, traditionally with mint sauce or redcurrant jelly.
