A local supermarket had a good sale on pork butts so I picked up some for the freezer and kept one out to grind for pork sausage. I started slicing it up on the end opposite the bone and came across a weird looking thing in the meat. It was a grayish color and about the size of a pecan. I carefully removed it before grinding but am not exactly sure what it was. I recall seeing a post recently about a gland that's in pork butt and wonder if that's what it might have been? If that's what it was, is it harmful to eat? How do you locate it on a whole butt to get rid of it? TIA for your input.
