Pork Butt, Wings, and ABT'S for Saturday football.

I moved down to North Carolina from Michigan last year. I am amazed that I cannot find any worthy cuts of pork or beef here. I have seen and tasted the most sorry cuts of meat here. We are in the middle of BBQ country and nowhere to get a good cut of meat. WTF? Pork butts go for $1.09 to $1.69 per pound all day long in the Detroit area. Everything down here is $3.00+ and the quality is not fit for dog food. T-Bone steaks were on SALE for $11.99, what a joke. The only thing that is OK is the chicken. My Egg needs some good meat.Simple ingredients, amazing results!

I had to scratch the picnic because Wilma got called into work so I put the brisket on this morning instead. Picnic at the lake tomorrow with spatch chicken. I'm thinking about doing a butt for my fantasy football draft on Monday. Is 10:00 am too early to serve pulled pork?Flint, Michigan

SamFerrise, it's not too late to go back to Detroit. We North Carolinians won't mind. You're kind of a Debby Downer.Hi54putty said:SamFerrise said:SamFerrise said:I moved down to North Carolina from Michigan last year.

+1 please go back. If your in NC and can't find good pork you are a moron. Just go to a piggly wiggly. They have fresh cut Boston Butts everyday. You could always go to nahunta pork center and get the best pork around. They raise their pigs and slaughter them daily and have fresh cuts available. -
@mike8it,
Where is Nahunta pork center? Sounds cool.XL,L,SWinston-Salem, NC -
On the road to south Texas. Mini is in the back waiting for the weekend workout. Definitely burgers and sausage and whatever else stricks our fancy.Large, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx

Putty - Nahunta is outside of Wilson and I believe they have an outlet in Raleigh. Here is their website http://www.nahuntapork.com/

Just keepin it simple for us:App: stuffed mushrooms2nd app / main course: wingsmain course: lasagnaDon't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup... Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend. - Bruce Lee

Getting my brisket ready for Labor Day. I found a great 14.5 lb packer at Walmart. I couldn't believe it when I saw it in the meat case. $2.67 per pound is a great price too.Simple ingredients, amazing results!
-
Picked up a pork butt two-pack (would that be an 'ass'?) at Costco. Looked at a packer at Malwart butt we did something like that last weekend so back to butts (the wife's fav, too) this weekend. Taking one to a family with friend in hospice and watching my teams open up the season!

My Egg needs some good meat.Now, having said that - I spent one year in Texas when I was younger. I was dirt poor and bough the cheapest cuts of beef I could find. I was simply amazed at how good most of the beef was down there for the prices I was paying. Texas is not a "dairy" area.My point being - I think there are differences in areas of the country. You Carolina guys might not know what you are missing. Maybe Sam just doesn't know where to shop. Who knows. But before telling a guy to get lost, consider the points I have just made. -
@twlangan, Check out some of Sam's other posts and then let us know if you want to take the same position. He is either a total jerk or is attempting to portray one on this forum...and, just to clarify, he absolutely is not correct.XL,L,SWinston-Salem, NC

@duganboy - 2 funny. Just got finished reading the thread about pizza dough.
@sam - I apologize if I was hostile. I grew up on the NC coast and have heard to many transplants complain about the way we do things here. I hope you have a nice holiday weekend and maybe NC will get its act together concerning pork and meat products.
