    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.

    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.
