Italian is a Romance language derived from Latin. Many of the words resemble those of Latin. See Latin Genealogical Word List (34077). Italian is spoken in Italy and the southern part of Switzerland in the cantons of Ticino and GraubÃ¼nden. Italian is also spoken in Yugoslavia near the border with Trieste.
A porterhouse steak is a T-bone steak, but what gives it its name is the tenderloin. The tenderloin has to be at least 1.5 inches wide at to be called a porterhouse. If the tenderloin is under 1.5 inches thick then its just a plain old T-bone. Ribeye, T-bone, porterhouse, strip steak, and tenderloin all come off the spine of the Cow.
Also, because of the anatomy, there are only 2 to 4 flat iron steaks per head of cattle, so butchers didn't traditionally place these cuts in the meat case, as there wouldn't be enough to display. More specifically, the Flat Iron is from the Top Blade, which is off the shoulder of the animal. Here is a boneless shoulder, the top blade is the part that has been removed and is next to it.
