What can be done with it? Was in Cash and Carry the other day and noticed it was priced pretty damn low...

It makes pretty good pulled pork and great sausage. It's just the other side of the shoulder basically.

The Cushion is a large muscle off the front leg. It can be smoked and pulled but can be a little dry because it is so lean. Mom roasted and sliced cushion meat. It is pretty versatile, guys that like leaner sausage grind them. Anything less than $1.50 per pound is a good price...JJ
