BBQ fans, brace yourselves: "Pork butt" will soon be a thing of the past.
In an effort to boost sales just ahead of the U.S. grilling season, and make shopping at the meat counter a bit easier, the pork and beef industries are retooling more than 350 names of meat cuts to give them more sizzle and consumer appeal

The term "pork chops" disappears?
In favor of "Porterhouse chops?" and "NY Chops?"
What utter bullshit.
But wait. "Pork butt" to be renamed "Boston roast?"
I wonder if those guys checked with the good people of Boston before they made their decision. :lmao:

Everything changes, but not all change is good.

This crap is so stupid.

I agree. I wonder how much money was spent on this?

I remember when pork chops used to be juicy. In the late fifties and early sixties, producers started to breed them to be "the other white meat" to compete with chicken in the health food fad. Pork became the other dry meat that got bigger the longer you chewed the tough it.

I marinate all my pork loin for at least a day before I cook it. You can make anything taste good if you brine it long enough.

Yep, pork shoulder is the "other" acceptable name. And most accurate, since that's where the cut comes from. Certainly not the area around the little twirly thing. :-)

Oldest daughter did FFA meat judging. She had to study how to judge a "Butt Face" on a ham and practice explaining her decisions. Lordy, two younger sisters and a 7 year old foster son? I thought they'd die of giggling when she practiced her speeches.
