You can easily buy yogurt at your local grocery store for $5CAD for 750ml, but just for fun you can also try to make your own yogurt at home, in a Crock Pot. It is surprisingly easy to do, and the yogurt comes out very delicious. The cost was $1.83CAD for 1.3L of yogurt, excluding electricity costs. This is very economical.
Slightly more expensive, is pork butt, but it looks pretty similar to pork picnic roast. Shopping at Chinese stores does not make the topic clearer. What is the difference? After some research the pork butt is pork front shoulder at the top of the leg, while the pork picnic roast is the rest of the leg, below the butt.
Yes, I am not a butcher, not even close, but you need to know about meat in order to cook and feed your family properly. Butt, is an old German word for the widest part of an animal. In the case of a pig, the widest part is the front shoulders, and such the front shoulders are called pork butt. How picnic became the name for all the meat further down I don’t know.
