don't know the word, but know what it is...

for instance, when considering a best end of lamb, "detalonner" consists of removing the spine bone to which the ribs are attached, and which is impossible to cut with a knife. Will ask my butcher tomorrow morning, but I know it sounds like "chine" or "shine"...
