The cuts of pork are the different parts of the pig which are consumed as food by humans. The terminology and extent of each cut varies from country to country. There are between four and six primal cuts, which are the large parts in which the pig is first cut: the shoulder (blade and picnic), loin, belly (spare ribs and side) and leg.

[1] It is the portion of the leg that is neither part of the ham proper nor the ankle or foot ( trotter ), but rather the extreme shank end of the leg bone.
