As noted, the shoulder consists of the Boston Butt and the Picnic (maybe that is shoulder arm?). You might ask you meat guy if the shoulder arm is ever referred to as the picnic, he will either know, or seem dazed and confused. Either way, valuable info!
I find the picnic to have more waste, but taste about the same as butt.
...just wondering if there is any (much) difference
from using the butt versus the shoulder?? Local store has shoulder on sale (referred to as shoulder arm).
