GOOD BUY IN MEAT
If you’re looking for one to
four pounds of tasty meat, you
could buy a boneless smoked
shoulder butt, say Penn State
extension consumer economics
specialists. You may know the
cut as a cottage roll. Boneless
butt or cottage roll is a nug
get of ham-like flavor carved
out of the pork shoulder. Be
cause of its convenient size,
it’s an excellent buy for a
small family.
