Kind of a strange question regarding cooking meat

Which means the marketing job is complete and you can plunk your money down, LOL.

Well, I might wait and see how a real-world example turns out, but if it's good, it's good.

People say “filet” all the time, not knowing what it exactly is. It’s largely flavorless, and requires a sauce to augment what little flavor there is. Here’s a guide to the cuts from a tenderloin. It could be that MIL got a tenderloin roast, (the large center section below) or the chateaubriand.

Agree. That's why she needs to figure out what she purchased -- I'd think that tenderloin versus rib roast would cook somewhat differently (haven't looked it up).

A rib roast is huge. Hard to mistake that for a tenderloin.

Not necessarily, if the bones were removed.

You could weigh it and see if it matches any of the roasts available?

Similar weights, very different shapes.
One is a solid hunk of meat and the other shaped closer to an oblong when tied, long strip when not.

Repeat after me,……you know mom, one thing I’ve always wanted to do, was to share Disney during (insert favorite season) with you and ( insert people) but we never seem to get there. Ahhh maybe one day, we’ll be able to. Then walk away thoughtfully.

Oh you have NO IDEA. It's a running joke in the family. LOL We all just go around stating things that we would like. Sometimes it shows up, most of the time it doesn't. LOL But I do have to say, back in 2004, she did gift our family of 4 and her daughters family of 3 to a DisneyWorld vacation. She paid tickets, hotel and dining plan. We just had to buy our flight tickets (first time I ever flown too) and whatever spending $$$ we wanted.
