Wife and I moved to Europe a bit ago. Finally got a new pellet grill and have been looking for the usual suspects: ribs, tenderloin, butts. Haven’t been able to find a true butt at any store like I could in the states. The last thing I bought that said it was a pork shoulder turned out more like an overdone brisket because I cooked it too long thinking it was a shoulder. It was still good, just not what I thought/wanted.
So I went and ordered a pork shoulder at my local butcher. They told me to come back today to get it. I go in and they cut the dang thing right in front of me and handed me the whole thing in a bag. It was a wild ride. Not sure my wife will ever recover from this 😂. Not even sure how much the whole thing weighs. Maybe like 16 pounds (7.5ish kilo). Told my wife to avoid the fridge when we get home from work lol. Any advice on separating the leg, or should I just send it and cook the whole thing? I really don’t know if my wife would be able to eat it if it comes off the grill that way lol.
