Boston spider or base of pig is the American name for a piece of pork that comes from the top of the shoulders of the forelegs and may contain a knife bone. The Boston Pant is the most commonly used piece for pulled pigs, barbecue staples in the southern United States.
In the UK, Boston's butt is known as a pig shoulder on the bone, since the usual pork shoulder boss usually has the bone removed and then rolled up and tied back to the joint.
