    boston butt , pork shoulder mix up at sams

    No, and that's exactly my point. That's why the butcher's union tried (unsuccessfully) to get rid of the name pork butt but customers won't give in. I assume that's why Walmart puts both names on the pork shoulder package label.

    Fast food pricing

    White Castle was founded in Wichita, Kansas and is credited as being the first fast food hamburger chain. I still eat the sliders. 100% beef with grilled onions. Perfection! They can be purchased frozen from Walmart. None of the restaurants are anywhere near my area but in larger...

    boston butt , pork shoulder mix up at sams

    Unbelievable!!! Pork shoulders are erroneously called Boston Butts. Butts are barrels, e.g., water butts are water barrels. Pork shoulders, many years ago, were packed in barrels for shipping thus the name Boston Butts. If you bought a Boston Butt it contained pork shoulders. Pork shoulders...

    How do you cut country style ribs?

    I agree although there was a movement among butchers a while back to stop erroneously calling them pork butts since the butts are the barrels the pork shoulders were shipped in many, many years ago. I have noticed that Walmart puts both names on the package labels. Personally, I refuse to...

    Easy made souse

    Same here. Dad called head cheese head cheese and said some people call it souse. Looks like this was made like head cheese but using other parts. I remember buying head cheese in the butcher shop. Times have changed. It's hard to find good head cheese these days. :)

    Buying Meat in Iowa

    I almost always get meat from Costco in West Des Moines. My older son gets meat from Fareway. We both like what we get but I need to watch for Fareway advertisements becuse I know their products are good and their sale prices can be very good. I don't care much for Hy-Vee but I know other...

    Come on IOWA!!!!

    I've been a member here for quite a while but haven't been active for a long time. Now that I'm retired I have more time for activities like this. I'm about 40 minutes south of WDM so let me know of any activities I could attend. Thanks.

    White Castle was our place to go too but not after a night of drinking, after a night of cruising the local spots around St. Louis. We always went to the White Castle on Natural Bridge Rd. Good times!

    Ditching the pellet smoker for a stick burner

    I got tired of using matches to light newspaper in the chimney starter so now I use a Bernzomatic self-lighting torch that I already owned to light the newspaper. I do things in a certain order and need that time the charcoal gets going to do other things. But using the weed burner sounds a...

    Heads Up...Bacon Sale Next Week

    I get the thick slice bacon from Costco. Good stuff! I wish it would go on sale and I'd fill the deep freeze with it.

    BBQ'ed Hippopotamus Anyone???

    Are you sure it doesn't taste like chicken. I thought every meat tastes like chicken the first time. :)

    One for the road!!!

    I live in Iowa near I-35. For several years after we moved here we had to drive the absolute worst patched portion of any highway I've ever driven. Counting the different shades of color I counted 5 kinds or patches on the highway. Finally they replaced the bumpy, over-patched stretch that was...

    Favorite widely available bourbon or whiskey

    If you're referring this to me I wouldn't be surprised at all. That's the situation I'm referring to and I know it's very common. I'm glad you added details that I left out. Thanks!

    Single burner propane stoves

    If you have electric available, have you considered an induction plate?

    Subway prices got ridiculous before the pandemic. Not sure what to call them now since 'ridiculous' doesn't describe it. Arby's prices are still almost reasonable, IMHO.

    Favorite widely available bourbon or whiskey

    Jameson, Wild Turkey 101, and Bulleit 95 Rye are my go to whiskeys. I'm not particular. All I require is a clean glass to pour them in. On the other hand I can't stand Maker's Mark. The smell of yeast coming off of that stuff is way too much. It's like drinking freshly proofed bread dough...

    Ditching the pellet smoker for a stick burner

    Yep! Heat and smoke gotta go somewhere. I used my WSM a lot and added a Yoder Loaded Wichita to my arsenal. I still have my original Weber Kettle from 1979 and it works great. I have a Weber Smokey Joe I bought years ago for camping and I still have uses for it. None of them have failed to...

    What a crappy week

    Sorry about your bad week. Today marks the completion of the first week of my six week recovery from major back surgery. I have limitations on bending, twisting, and lifting (no more than 10 pounds). I had a decompression and fusion of L3, L4, and L5 so they had to put a cage in my back to...

    For the love of god make it stop

    We have a few banties so I eat their eggs but I might eat 6 or 8 of them for breakfast due to their small size. I'm just glad that pork loins are staying relatively cheap and that I don't care for beef that much. I have my own pond stocked with fish; catfish, bass, bluegill, and other pan...

    Ditching the pellet smoker for a stick burner

    I agree with you 100%. Offset smokers started as a makeshift arrangement for smoking food in the oil fields. They're not precision equipment and don't need to be. If you have a stamped sheet metal smoker a bit of leaking is the least of your worries but I'll bet you can still get some...
