mutton chop

Wide facial whiskers

A mutton chop is a rib cut of sheep meat, typically including the bone.

In the plural, mutton chops are a style of facial hair—thick sideburns that extend down the cheeks and connect to a mustache, leaving the chin clean-shaven.

The style was popular in the nineteenth century and takes its name from the cut of meat it resembles.
