Yeah, it's a "Half" shoulder.
The whole ones were in the 6-7 lb range. Too big for my little household of
one human and one cat. I'm having a friend over, and so I'm looking for
dinner for two, plus leftovers for at most, 3 meals. This little hunk of
meat cost me less than $3. I'm hoping to get dinner for us tomorrow, plus
dinner at least one more time. My plan is to have roast pork for supper Mon
or Tuesday and then pick the rest apart, mix it with some bbq sauce and heat
it up in the microwave for "chopped bbq" for a couple of lunch sandwiches.
Might use the bone to make bean soup..... or maybe split pea.
I know it's not a lot, but it's just the right size for me.
