About Us About Ham Our Products Cook's Kitchen FAQ Contact Us

A Cook's pork shoulder picnic is the cut of meat taken from the front leg of a pig. Since a ham always comes from the back leg, a pork shoulder picnic is not technically considered a ham, although its appearance and taste can be similar. Smoked picnics, however, are not as lean as a ham and are traditionally cured with more salt. Whether you boil or bake it, many people find picnics a great way to add flavor to dishes, especially soups and casseroles. Cook’s Pork Shoulder Picnics are available as wholes, halves or pre-sliced halves.
