New Butcher

Post by derekmiller »

Hi.
A "long" while ago, Toby ( I think it was Toby), posted a copy from a book regarding the cutting of the Butt and Picnic.
I have a new butcher and want to show him it, but cant find it.
Has anyone bookmarked it.
Thanks.
Derek..

This is not the same one but no different. I've got two for you, the same cuts but different names.

It was Steve from Royal Q that posted the diagram! You could find it by looking through his history of post?

Thanks. thats it.
Apologies to Steve, I did look through his posts but obviously missed it. Thats maybe why I thought it was Toby.
Cheers.

Hi All

Sorry newbie questions,

Can the boston butt and picnic be smoked for pulled pork??
Is either one just as good as the other or would I be looking at asking for both joined together.

Can any pork joint be smoked low and slow for pulled pork?

Sorry im sure these questions have been asked before but I haven't seen them myself.

Many thanks

pork butt & picnic can be used to make pulled pork although pork butt is considered to be the moister end of the shoulder. As for other parts of the pig that can be used for pulled pork the only other bits that are any good is the head and the cheeks, the hocks and you could possibly use the belly (although belly is so good as it is i wouldn't use it for PP). The rest is too lean.
