What is "picnic shoulder"?
The picnic shoulder, also known as the picnic ham or pork shoulder picnic, is a cut of pork taken from the lower portion of the shoulder, closer to the front leg of the pig. It typically includes a portion of the shoulder blade bone, as well as layers of meat, fat, and connective tissue. The picnic shoulder is prized for its rich flavor and versatility in cooking. It can be roasted, braised, smoked, or slow-cooked to tenderize the meat and render the fat, resulting in succulent and flavorful pork.
Example
