Tis the fate of a Butt in a Grocery mart. You have a one in ten chance
to be sold whole. If you have a big loin you get sliced into steaks -
otherwise you're cut into CSRs.
Personally I look for the thinner bits of shoulderbone, back on the
blade towards the loin (same as in beef)
There's a wide variability in this cut of puerco...
