Hello folks,
I've got a question. Has anyone compared commodity pork butts (i.e. common grocery store pork) to the more expensive heritage breeds, e.g. Berkshire, Duroc, Red, etc.?
I know it's crazy, but I've only ever smoked the more expensive butts. I can tell you out of the package, they're much more marbled and a darker red color, almost looks like beef.
In my mind, I assume it's got to have a richer flavor and moister texture. But that's only an assumption in my mind. Now that I live in SoCal (not by my choosing) where absolutely everything is more expensive, I need to watch my spending carefully.
Can anyone here please share there comparison between the quality of the end product of smoked commodity and heritage type pork butt?
Thank in advance!
