Hi All,
Does anyone have a American to Australian translation guide for Butchers.
Nearly all of the butchers look at me blankly when i ask for a Pork Butt.
Can someone please let me know what i need to ask for from my butcher (cut, prep etc)
cheers
here is a link that should work

as far as i know pork butt and boston butt are the same cut,,, you may want to print out the pig diagram and show it to your butcher ,, point to the boston butt ,,,, say i want this... :)
Thanks beefmann
its really frustrating when i go to a butcher and they have no idea what i'm talking about. Its their trade they should know all the main terms, especially when over here in Oz there are so many cooking shows featuring pulled pork and use the butt terms.
O well ill print your diagram and see if i have better luck - nothing like a picture to make them work it out
cheers
your welcome.. .and a diagram will help... as you have indicated different countries have different names for the same cut of meat.. . the diagram should help
