The Boston Massacre was not really a massacre. It was a riot turned out of control. Less than 10 British soldiers who were trying to uphold the law were surrounded by a mob of â¦ angry colonists who were taunting them and throwing things at them. They were surrounded and a shot was fired.
PORK SHOULDER, or PORK BUTT. Starting from the front of the pig: Pork shoulder (also called pork butt or âBoston buttâ) is generally sold as a 5 to 10 pound boneless roast at the grocery store. (Pork shoulder chops are sold with bones, but those are less common.).
The humble pork shoulder can be one of the toughest cuts of meat from the pig, but since most hogs are under one year old when butchered, toughness usually isn't a problem. The reason for the potential toughness is the high amount of connective tissue in the shoulder area. The pork shoulder is high in fat, too.
