I'm wonder what is the difference between the tenderloins and the backstrap?

The tenderloin is inside the body cavity near the pelvic region---it is a lot smaller than the backstrap.  The backstrap is outside of the body cavity on both sides of the spine and is much longer and wider than the tenderloin.  Both are excellent, but the tenderloin is...well, more tender lol.  

 

I will show pictures later on of the cutting up process or if you peruse my 2011 winter blog you'll see some pictures.
