Amis!

“Boston Butt” also referred to as “Pork Butt” is a cut from the pork shoulder. A “butt” refers to the special barrels the butchers would store this cut of meat in. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_...

Just back from Negros Island in Philippines. The feast thing there is spitted roast young pig cooked over coconut shell charcoal. When the pig isn’t too big, the meat is rich like Mexican carnitas but covered with crackling. I understand that’s popular in South too.

Butt is one of the English standard wooden cask sizes. Each had different handling and loading requirements. Brined meat could have been stored in any of them. A Butt-Load is 126 Gallons. Literally. LOL. Pork Butt may have been named for the similarity in proportions.

Wine and water is about 8lbs per gallon. Meaning a "Tun" is 252gal x 8 =2016lbs. Tun =Ton

For those who grew up in Connecticut, Boston Butt has more than one definition. Just sayin'.

Dang, we missed it

Seems like a lot of work for a cholesterol pop-tart. It's probably good though.

I thought I was overdoing my promos for the Railway Loading Threads. Now I feel like I’m underperforming. I need to take it to the next level 😂

Your latest railway promo is pretty awesome actually. But I also like the quirky human interest stuff.

It's funny: It says that it's a german dish. But as a german, I have never even heard of it 🤔

Perhaps it's an American version of the regional German dish "Grützwurst" or "Graupenwurst".
