Boston butt

zergetek

Hey everyone,

I was wondering where I can get boston butt or pork upper shoulder in Ireland.
I was visiting Aldi, Lidl, Tesco, Supervalu and a few local and nearby butcher shops without any luck.

Any idea?

A good butcher should be able to prepare these for you if you give them some notice.

If you are in Dublin, FX Buckleys on Moore Street sell these cuts.

Is this the cut?

Dublin Meat Company sometimes have pork shoulder too.

Personally I think pork shoulder gives better pulled pork than a butt if that’s what you’re after (it doesn't come from the butt btw!).

If its what you want though, I’ve gotten them from FXB and James Whelan.

As I understand it, shoulder and butt are the same cut.

Sorry, to be clear, when I say shoulder I’m thinking of the picnic, not the butt.
