I have trouble here with pork shoulder, butt. It usually comes with the skin. So I have been using boneless pig neck.
This has very little waste and cooks to tender quite quickly. Just wish I could get fresh tomatillos instead of canned.

(2,226 posts)I'd have to work to find pork neck here in the Pacific NW! And pork butt is usually offered skin-off. Fresh tomatillos are rarer and more costly during the winter but usually can be found in major groceries.

(6,784 posts)I used to use pork shoulder when I was in the US. Never saw the necks.
The only time I saw fresh tomatillos was about 8 years ago at 22 euro a kilo. Close to $11 per pound. Canned from Mexico are less than half that. Go figure.
I was spoiled in the SF bay where I could get tomatillos for under $1 per pound some times.
