Pork Loin Joint
A 'pork loin joint' is a roast cut from the loin of a pig. It can take two forms: 'bone in', which still has the loin ribs attached, or 'boneless', which is often tied with butchers string to prevent the roast from falling apart. On request, pork rind is added to the fat side of the joint to give a desirable crackling which the loin otherwise lacks.
