For Christmas a friend gave us a cookbook on Southern French cooking. The
author was english. A recipe for Roast Loin of Pork said to "chine the
roast (or have the butcher do it for you)". I couldn't find a definition
for this technique in the few cookbooks I have, and my dictionary only
defined chine as a spine or a piece of meat containing the spine. There
was no definition given for the verb form of the word.

I guessed from a later instruction on placing garlic slivers "between the
bones" that to chine must mean to cut through the individual vertebrae,
but not the meat. In any event the roast came out fine.
Did I guess correctly?
