picnic ham

Not really a true HAM (which comes from the pig's back leg), the picnic HAM is taken from the upper part of the foreleg and includes a portion of the shoulder. This cut is also more accurately referred to as the picnic shoulder or pork shoulder. The picnic HAM is smoked, which gives it a very HAMlike flavor. It often has the bone removed. Though it's slightly tougher (requiring longer cooking) and has more waste because of the bone structure, picnic HAM is a good, inexpensive substitute for regular HAM. See also HAM.
