A Barnsley Chop is a double-lamb chop made by cross-cutting through a saddle of lamb.
It is actually two chops with their rib bones still joined at the top, where the spine is.
A Barnsley Chop will weigh about 2 to 3 pounds (900g to 1 ⅓ kg) before cooking (3 pounds / 1 ⅓ kg if mutton instead of lamb.)
Serve 1 per person.
