We'd get that from good quality shoulder/butt here.

The same discrepancy applies to beef brisket. Ours is very lean and leathery, and the US variety is marbled, juicy, tender and delicious...mmmmm...
Sorry, I got carried away there for a while...

Regrettably, I can't read German.
Rather than rely on the hit-and-miss nature of online translators, can anyone oblige please?
