I seem to be learning a new language .... LOL
Saw some pork butt ( shoulder new york cut )
I need a translation to what this is?
New York's answer to Boston Butt ?
Good for pulled pork or sausage or something else altogether ?
Merci ( left over french from last weekend )
Hmmm..
What did it look like ?
Did it have a bone, one that was perhaps sticking out ?
I'm thinking it may be cut closer to the shank end.
My understanding is that the shank end is better for slicing than pulling, but I know there have been some here that pulled it.
Like FBR said, it is probably the picnic and the butt combo and some of the butt meat trimmed off.
here is a coustomer info # you can call, just don't tell them you are not buying it from loblaws. 1-800-296-2332
would like to know what you found out. might be something for the la caja china
I found this definition, does it make sense ?
New York Style Shoulder—This cut consists of the full length shoulder cut two to two and one-half ribs wide and butted approximately two inches above top end of blade bone. Leg cut off just above knee joint.
Would it be a good candidate for pulled pork ?

In a word, yes.
Sounds like it is both the boston butt and the picnic.
Here is a link to a meat map:

CR
price per pound was 1.29
I thought it was pretty good for up here
I paid 1. 49 for straight up shoulder
I was thinking this was a good deal
Price difference between picnic and Bst butt is 15 to 20 cents here.
If you read the post the picnic I smoked was good just didn't "pull"
had to 'Chop" it
Some of my family liked it better.
