[Sca-cooks] Fabrication?

Back wheah ah come from... Humph harumph, excuse me... Where I come
from this is known as basic prep, short for preparation, and when the
cuts are taught in school, it's called "Knife Skills". I imagine the
rationale is that what's being taught in one shot is a combination of
basic prep (the different ways to dismember a chicken, peeling and
preprep of large items like bermuda onions) and knife skills (the
different vegetable cuts): they may simply have felt the need for a
new name.

No, she wasn't talking about the Knife Skills, she was saying that the term
applied to anything that had to be broken down into component parts.  I got
the impression she was talking about primal and then smaller cuts.   The
vegetables were a different matter altogether.
