Pork Butt.....

.....is a cut taken from the pig's SHOULDER area!! Huhh?? R2473?? (I know the pork belly is your preferred cut --- if indeed it's actually from the belly---but can you explain this)

I thought it had something to do with sureshs.

During colonial days New England butchers tended to take less prized cuts of pork like these and pack them into barrels for storage and transport. The barrels the pork went into were called butts. This particular shoulder cut became known around the country as a New England specialty, and hence it became the "Boston butt."

I'd love to see if the conscious action of the sureshs shoulder makes it as tender for my Brunswick stew recipe as Boston butt!

Yep, shoulder blade area etc. Good for roasting, braising, BBQ, pulled pork, jamaican jerking, shoulder steaks. Lots of marbling makes the meat 'melt in your mouth.' I believe that Country Style Spare ribs are from the shoulder. The area is deboned and the meat sliced into 2'x2' strips. The rest of the animal tends to be too lean for my tastes.

edit: except for bacon

When you've got 4 legs I guess you can have two butts. BTW, a 10 lb. pork butt covered in chopped garlic, onion, bell pepper and cilantro, slow cooked for about 8 hours (add small yellow potatoes with 2 hours to go), is proof of the existence of God.

Don't tell sureshs!

What, the existence of God part, or that you can have two butts if you have 4 legs?

Judging from the "quality" of many of his posts, He has two butts on just two legs!
