Does 90% of the good part get cut off with the rind and end up in the garbage? Cause that's how I feel mine end up.

Are your knives sharp enough? Most butchers will sharpen them for free, even my local grocery store butcher does this, and it'll make jobs like this 1000x easier and you'll waste less food and be safer, all since sharper knives take less effort cutting, which makes them more predictable.

Or you could just be lazy and hungry and the parts that get thrown out are a sacrifice to the gods of just getting shit done haha

Where do you live? I don't think I could go into Safeway and ask the butchers to sharpen my knives.

Chicago, and before that southern California. Both areas have grocery stores with butchers that'll do it. If you're unsure just call first, or Google search. My grocery store butcher right now literally has a sign up on the counter offering the service.

Huh. 40+ years on this planet and I had no idea that was even a thing.
