LOL Yabbit!
A brisket is a cut of meat from the chest/underside of a cow!
It can range from just a few pounds to as much as 15-20 lbs.
We see them heah as corned beef briskets that we use in boiled dinnah.
Down in TX they have the "real thang" (as in huge cuts of beef that ain't "corned") that is very tough unless you slow cook it at lower temps.
I got hooked on it while doing the Rio Grande thing and I decided to revive it one day when I went into a "Soopah Wallyworld" and they actually had briskets that were NOT corned ( yes it was in Maine!) Hence the post on cooking brisket!
You reviving this thread has my mouth watering all over again!
