Grey area, it's no longer a PSMO, but it's still a whole tenderloin. The chain and the head wrap aren't part of the tenderloin muscle.

I've never trimmed a whole shoulder . Please educate me. Are all the muscles for a commercially trimmed butt included in your butt-ish looking chunk. If so legal. If not then you've created an illegal cut of pork.

I'll have to get the wife's porcine anatomy book out to be sure but I believe they remove the digastric muscle when they bone them out. There are 8 muscles in a pork butt btw.

1.Omohyoid muscle

2.Sternothyroid muscle

3.Trapezius muscle

4.Triceps brachii muscle

5.Deltoid

6.Lattissmus dorsi muscle

7.Digastric muscle

8.Mylohoid
