Livestock / Animal Husbandry / lamb meat content
Norwegian term or phrase: tidel
Hi, I'm trying to find the correct English translation for this. I am thinking it refers to part of meat labeling. It's used in a discussion on characteristics of a particular breed of lamb as follows:


Innholdet er angitt på tidelen uten slingringsmonn.

Det er lite trolig at stykningsdelene vil ha på tidelen samme innhold hvert eneste år.

Thanks for your help!
