Pork loin is a cut of meat from a pig, created from the tissue along the top of the rib cage. It is very popular in the United Kingdom and the United States, where it is usually cut into chops (bone in) or steaks (boneless) then grilled, baked or fried. Loin can also be cured to make bacon; it is particularly popular in the United Kingdom where most of the bacon consumed is 'back bacon'. Americans call this type of bacon 'Canadian bacon', as it was brought to Canada by British settlers.

Refusal struck her loin and the lame flower
Bent like a beast to lap the singular floods....”
