pork butt
Pulled meat source
Pork butt is a cut of meat from the upper shoulder of a pig, not the rear end as the name suggests.
Also called Boston butt, it's a well-marbled cut ideal for slow cooking, barbecue, and pulled pork: She smoked a pork butt for twelve hours.
The name likely derives from the barrels (butts) in which colonial New England butchers packed this cut.
