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.).
Butt or Picnic: As I said the pork shoulder is frequently cut into the Boston butt and the picnic. The Boston butt has less bone than the picnic and both cuts will weigh about 6 to 8 pounds. If you can't find a whole pork shoulder at your local store you can get either or both of these cuts and have just what you need.
