In Reply to: Ham vs. Butt... posted by JRL on June 23, 2008 at 05:40:01:
Ok, Butt comes from the front leg and ham from the hind leg. Butt is one of two cuts from a shoulder the other is called picnic.
I recently had a conversation with a local bbq joint owner family member. They only cook shoulders and when on occasion a ham gets mixed in, customers complain because the ham meat is reddish in color that the Q isn't done. He said that they keep their guard up to not cook any hams.
This is a North Carolina Q joint where the local folks know what pork bbq is supposed to look and taste like.
