Foxchop

/ˈfɑks.tʃɑp/ noun

Definition

A cut of meat or a cooking method, possibly referring to a chop-like cut prepared in a particular style.

Etymology

Compound of 'fox' and 'chop,' combining the animal name with a meat-cutting term; this appears to be a regional or historical culinary term of unclear exact origin.

Kelly Says

Historical meat cuts often had colorful animal names—some reflected the animal's speed or character rather than the actual meat, showing how food language was more poetic before industrial butchery standardized everything.
