trimmed loin of pork

gekettelt - untrimmed
abgekettelt - trimmed

Trimming is removing the sinewy "chain" and membranes from the loin - the particularly annoying chewy bits that remain after roasting or frying when you don't trim the meat.

The process of cleaning up the meat is
1) boning - Ausbeinen
2) skinning - Entschwarten (Haut und Fettschicht)
3) trimming - Cutting off "wings" (ragged edges) and sinews, membranes and excess fat = Säubern/Enthäuten/Abketteln

Now a bit of meat trivia:
Before or after this, particularly in the case of beef (or venison, which turns game - from the Nordic word for old, which is also the root of Gammel (Danish for old, as in Gammel Dansk) and Gammeln/Gammelfleisch (to hang around, rot or"go off") in German) - the meat may be hung for a while to tenderise it. This is a natural enzyme process that breaks down the muscle fibres - aka dry aging.
This is not generally recommended for pork.

„Re: Was ist die Kette beim Filet?

Die Kette ist ein schmaler Fleischstrang der parallel zum Filet läuft. Dieser hat einige Sehnen, und wird deshalb in der Regel beim Filet entfernt.“

2. Kette=chain
As you probe the tenderloin with your fingers you will discover that there is the main long muscle and a small sinewy, fatty piece that runs the length of the entire tenderloin. This is called the chain and it is attached most securely at the head (the thicker end) of the tenderloin.
