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.).
^ +1 Like AAWA said above... The cushion comes from the Pork Shoulder Picnic (Arm). The picnic shoulder is more economical than the Boston Butt, but it also contains more fat than the blade shoulder. When the bone and fat is trimmed an cooked it results in a very rich flavorful piece of meat. The meat from this cut is excellent for making juicy smoked pulled pork. The Picnic has a large bone and joint that runs through the middle of the roast, but one side has a large lean muscle, hence called the cushion.
