I wondered the same thing, Pandora - about the size. The pork
tenderloin is dark in color and often has a silver skin on one side of
it that needs to be removed before cooking. One that size would come
from a very large piggy. I have seen a pork tender of maybe 2 pounds or
so - maybe 2-1/2 inches in diameter; they can be rather small, too --
perhaps 12 ounces and only about 1-1/2 inches diameter.
