No mention of soft bone, so not sure about your 'knars'

I wonder whether English texts would actually distinguish between bone and soft bone. Certainly most if not all of the sites that mention "without soft bone (or: softbone)" in connection with pork belly seem to be foreign. Might be enough to say boneless, rind off/rindless. Incidentally rind off also exists in hyphenated form. |
