>>9112729oh yes. i have seen people here do that, though no one in my family does it, and it's unusual i think. not rare, but unusual. if i had seen such a fine, proper cut i might have attempted it though.
also we never oven bake meat separate from its sides (potatoes, sauerkraut, rice, veggies, etc.) and a thing like that would present difficulties since it doesn't leave much room in the pan.
i think that's probably the main reason people here usually cut it.
