Chop
Chop recipes have been around for centuries and are a staple in many cultures. The word “chop” is derived from the Old English word “ceap” which means “head” or “skull.” This likely refers to the fact that the dish was traditionally made with chopped meat from the head of a pig or sheep.
The first recorded chop recipe was published in the 17th century in a cookbook called The Queen-like Closet. This recipe called for chopped mutton, beef, or veal to be fried in butter and served with a sauce made from red wine and vinegar.
Over the years, chop recipes have evolved to include a variety of different meats and ingredients. Today, you can find chop recipes made with chicken, pork, lamb, beef, and even seafood. And while the traditional fried chop is still popular, there are now many different ways to cook this dish, including baking, grilling, and stir-frying.
