If you've been looking for an easy, tasty, and affordable new meal idea and you haven't been shopping at Aldi, maybe it's time to start. Many customers swear by the Carnitas Seasoned Boneless Pork Shoulder Roast that you can get at Aldi for under $3 a pound. Not only is it a great idea to pop in a slow cooker, but the pre-marinated meat is also incredibly flavorful and can be used in a variety of dishes.
Most Americans are probably only familiar with a few basic cuts of pork, but even then, naming conventions can be confusing. We know pork chops and loin, ham, and a few others, but not many people could tell you where they come from. Once you get into pork steaks and country-style ribs, you are probably totally lost. And one of the most confusing names seems deliberately misleading. Pork butt is not actually from the rear of the pig; that is where the ham is cut from.
