All I can tell you about this is that I know they are both tough pieces of meat that are ideal for slow-cooking. I like chuck roasts.

Chuck Roasts Get More Tender And Shred Better When Cooked Long And Slow.

Shoulder roasts usually have a bone too, I think.

Re: chuck roast vs shoulder roast

when aunt cousin julie was here two weeks ago, we swapped recipe books. she had alot of gramma's i didn't have. and vice versa.

we scribbled all afternoon.
I wrote mine down on index cards. this inspired me.

the last two weeks i have been putting my recipe book together, all hand written. i think hand written recipes are the best. we giggle at the ones my wrote out when they were just getting their grove on their hand writing it's so cute.

I bought a 200 page photo album. put the 4 x6 index cards in it, it's turned out really cool. kids wrote some, julie wrote some, i had a bunch on the computer i copied them down, I have 140 in there now, i may need another book.

if that wasn't enough, i have cleaned up my mess of recipes for freezer cooking. those are all seperate, therefore some are written twice, freezer ones are printed and put in a fun 3 ring binder. I need protective sleeves, and i need tabs.

but, i'm gathering and organizng my recipes. it's looking really cool, and i am so excited to have the hand written ones.
