What's the difference between pork sirloin and pork tenderloin? Are Spanish chorizo and Mexican chorizo the same thing? Do quail and pheasant really taste just like chicken?

This is a pocket book, it was smaller than I expected, but it is probably better that way. The color photographs are in the center pages with descriptions in the rest of the book, referencing the photos. It has useful information on most of the meat cuts available in the market. It even has equivalent names in Spanish, French, Italian and German for some of the entries.

The author claims antibiotics are prohibited for use as growth promotors. However, from:
http://www.ucsusa.org/food_and_environment/antibiotics_and_food/preservation-of-antibiotics-for-medical-treatment-act.html
"Antibiotic feed additives are used to promote slightly faster growth and to compensate for crowded, stressful, and often unsanitary animal-husbandry conditions. The Union of Concerned Scientists estimates that 70 percent of the antibiotics used in the United States are used as feed additives for chicken, hogs, and beef cattle; such use occurs without a prescription."
Disclaimer: I have not read much beyond page one of the book.
