Bought a Whole shoulder yesterday and it was big. It was off a Old Gloucester Spot sow and I'd seen it foraging in a field a few weeks ago.
It'd been culled on Monday, hung for three days and then butchered. This is how it looked when I got it <IMG SRC="http://www.imagestation.com/images/is/community/this_album_button.gif" BORDER="0">]
In the picture where I've cut the picnic off the knife has a five inch blade to give a sense of scale. Generally the supermarkets in this country don't have meat like this, it's all been cut into little customer friendly pieces so I bought this directly from the farmer.
Unfortunatly the farmer doesn't cull his pigs every week so I'll have to savour this one and look forward to the next.
On with the smokin'
