I'm in Indiana. :)

Do you smoosh (I'm sure there's a technical term) the cutlets out flat first? Everyone competes for the title of "Best Tenderloin" here. At our local grocery, you choose your pork loin from the meat case and they make your tenderloin while you watch. They are fresh and delicious and I don't even LIKE breaded tenderloins. (That's just between us... an admission like that is tantamount to rooting for OSU or UM.)

My grandfather ate a lard sandwich for lunch every day of his life and lived well into his 80s. I'm convinced it's all a crapshoot. lol

The cutlets and steak are best run thru the tenderizer. They are put in egg and milk, then flour and fried. Our tenderloins are whole pieces of meat. Do you have pork chops?

My favorite Thanksging food is Ocean Spray cranberry sauce.. out of the can! LOL!
