We're gonna have some fresh sweet corn, beans and homemade slaw to go with a nice brisket tomorrow. Had a "discussion" with the so-called butcher at Sam's.....I wanted a mid sized brisket, all they had on display was 12 - 15# plus. I asked for a smaller one (8-9#). He found one, but the price was $4.50/lb.....the bigger ones were $2.88/lb. When I asked about the difference in price, he said....and I quote...."Well, it's a different cut."
One of the bigger ones was around 16# and was a packer cut. All the others, including my smaller one was a trimmed flat. I told him that I'd take the bigger one if he could separate the flat from the point for me. He actually admitted that he had no idea what I was talking about. In the end I got the size I wanted for $2.88.
Anyway..had to vent and thank y'all for letting me.
Here she is....nicely rubbed. currently in the fridge, awaiting heat & smoke tomorrow.
