How come pork tenderloin is so cheap? Not complaining. Just asking. Got a whole one for £2 last week. So delicious quick roasted with olive oil, lemon and thyme. Only takes about 35 mins in a hot oven then rest it while crisping up carbs (did sweet potato "chips" in the oven last time) and veg of choice. Make gravy from herby lemony juices and nom. Easily enough for two hungry people plus leftovers with rice or in sandwiches for next day. So good.
I guess a lot of people a wary of it because it can be easily overcooked and there isn't a huge amount of flavour to it compared with a chop. Also pork is just a lot cheaper and fashion is for ribs, belly etc which means the tenderloin is cheaper.
