I’m making a bunch of jambalaya for a get together this weekend. I’m using Stadium Rat’s guide.

Would pork belly work? Would that be too fatty?

Needs to be something I can find at Sam’s preferably.

Thanks!

Pork belly would be very fatty

For big batches pork temple is great because you don’t have to cut it, just thaw and brown, any local grocery store in gonzales will be able to get you as much as you need

Boston butt is great and you would be able to get from sams , but you have to cut it up and if you are doing a big pot that can get timely

Pork belly is too fat. Boston butt is pretty common. They'll probably cut it up if you ask.

Cheek meat/temple. Usually frozen and they will cut you off the series amount.

I wish I had temple meat available but where I live.....no dice.

Pork shoulder/Boston Butt is what I use.

Usually, I use cube wild hog meat; mainly because the freezer is full of it.

If I have to buy it, Boston butt.

At sams, pork butt. Like others said, if your making a big batch, that’ll take you a little time to cut it all up.

If you can find temple meat locally, go with that. A real butcher should have some.

At Sams.... I'd Get a pork loin and cut off the darker portion and use that. Use the ends of the loin as well. Save the white piece for breakfast pork chops.

If it must come from Sam's, boston butt would be your best bet.
