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.).
In comparison, the shoulder roast or pork picnic is the lower portion of the shoulder below the joint and above the shank (leg). It is smaller than the pork butt and also contains more fat, bone and connective tissue. It is often sold complete with skin and is rarely sold boneless.
