Carve from A to B ; let the slices be moderately thin —not too thin—help fat with the lean in one piece, and give a little addi- tional fat which you will find below C ; the solid fat is at A, and must be cut in slices horizontally.

In carving the upper part the same directions should be followed as for the ribs, carving either side, or in the centre, from A to B, and helping the fat from D.
