Pork Shoulder

[Gary Sabino]

I was going to try a recipe I found for Cuban Pork Shoulder. I had a 1/2 picnic in the freezer. Could that be considered the same thing. I read that its the Butt thats considered a pork shoulder roast. Is there a big difference? Thanks everybody.

The picnic is the lower part of the shoulder, below the butt. It extends a bit down the leg, hence its shape. Use it in your recipe.
