It is the same with lamb chops too. The shoulder chops have more fat and
more bone, and with the bone heading off in all directions it is hard to
get at the meat. The loin chops are more expensive but the fat is limited
to the outside and there is a nice big chunk of meat in the middle. I don't
bother with the shoulder chops anymore.
