[Buckeye]

Sorry fer tha title but that's eggzacklee whut I got rite now.....Cooked sum butts last nite an wuz pullin em'...took a taste test an there wuz a darkish peece of meat I tried...it wuz mushy and tasted probalee like ****! :shock: Wuz thiz sumthin that I shooda cleened out? All tha rest of tha meat taste find, but I can't test every peece of dark meat ta see if there's still more of that....****. Hollah back sumbodee. Gotta devise a plan B fer tha client.

black meat / 'usually' means soot / open all vents / cook with coals /

[Buckeye]

That's not tha problem Fred......that dark meat wuz on tha inside. Had nuthin ta do with soot or intake. This taste wus not like tastin bitter meat....it literalee cooda been ***** ....ifn' I didn't noe tha anatomee of a pig. :shock: Sorta had tha texture of mushy liver (I noe that's redundant), but tha taste wuz way werse!

Never had that happen to me eather I guess it might have been somebody kicked your pig in its ARSE. Maybe some else can shed some light on your nasty pice of butt! :wink:

Why do u think it's called BUTT? Maybe a section of chittlin was routed thru
that butt. Well, beats the ell out of me. Very strange :shock:

not that i know anything, but since you said it was on the inside, have you seen that before? i mean, is there normally something dark on the inside?

i've done a few butts and can't say i've ever seen anything like you describe. did you get a bad piece?

[Woodman]

Could've been some sort of injury like a contusion. Its possible that the hog got injured while they were killing ang hacking him to death. Woody

Had a similar problem with a double cryovac pack of butts from Costco a couple weeks ago. One of them was fine the other butt was like mush all the way through! :shock:

Buckeye, I've heard that there can be a gland in the pork butt. They are usually removed, but sometimes left in. Maybe that's what you ate.

[Qjunkie will]

The only the that sucks Woodhoover is that ugly azz flag DR is sportin!

[redneck cooker]

Bucky, I have had the same problem a few times with butts. Usually it is the meat against the bone that has the highest concentration of blood in it . That blood cant escape through the meat so it cooks between the bone and lean meat causing it to get mushy and dark brown. I have found this to happen only on extremely fresh cut butts. I always score the butts I cook with a knife before I cook them seems to help. Hope this helps out my brutha!! :D

[Dirty Ron]

tell me about it QJ....

[Woodman]

Watch yerself Will!
