so maybe im confused here. I always thought the butt and shoulder were different cuts...with the butt being the upper part of the shoulder if you like. I know the "boston butt" is typically the lower part of the shoulder.
I was really hoping to find actual butt since ive always thought that made better pulled pork.
Butt and shoulder are different cuts. These are definitely butts. If it is labeled just "shoulder", it will usually be the lower part of the shoulder..
Boston butt = butt = upper shoulder. Boston is the city where the term originated for the "butts" (wooden casks) they shipped the packed pork out in, long ago.

grantgallagher Ahh... nope. That picnic has the bone in and looks like a ham. It’s the elbow bone and not the normal bone we’re used to seeing in the "butts" we cook, scapulas.
