New England Q Brotha's

[NHSmoker]

If any of you guys here in New England have a Market Basket or D'Amoolas, check them out, because last night they had shoulders for $1.09/lb. That's the cheapest I've seen them, and they are nice meats. (the have good spares too).

One thing that I didn't quite understand though, was that they were also selling pre-smoked shoulders for $.99/lb. Didn't quite make sense, until I realized that they must be left over from a shipment that usually goes to Texas, I hear those guys just buy one that's pre-cooked and then reheat it on their pits, and tell everyone that they worked all night cooking. 8) 8)

OUCHHHHHHHH! :P

[Grumpy Gator]

Figures that they'd be pre-smoked in New England... :roll:

What does that mean exactly? That they've soaked them all night in a crockpot full of Liquid Smoke? :)

[NHSmoker]

don't know...looked like they had only been cooked for a few hours...

What's the difference in the "shoulders" and the "butts"?

[TAR RIVER RAT]

I think this came by way of the Bigwheel. If not, he should have posted it.

Boston Butt= top half of front leg

Ham = Entire back leg

Picknick = Bottom half of front leg

Shoulder = Both halves, the picknick and the boston butt

I use Liquid Smoke when I make a stove-top Kielbasa dinner. Turns out decent for what it is.

Anyone interested in the recipe? For this dish i have it written down (unlike other stuff)

-just looked and I have it in "Your best non-bbq dish" topic

"Pre Smoked?" Is it kinda pinkish like a ham? If so, then is a cured, cold smoked piece of meat like a ham or bacon.They do this with picnics alot . Hence the term; Picnin Ham.They also do pork chops and canadien bacon this way. A smoked butt should be dark and crunchy looking on the outside like a brisket. One is more "cured", t'other is more "cooked."

Those cured types of shoulders are usually boiled for a "Poor man's boiled dinner" as a replacement for corned beef.
