I find the cutest little perfectly formed 4.25lb packer cut
brisket tonight at the grocery store. I'll probably cure it with
the pink Instacure and smoke it for thanksgiving. Somebody else
is in charge of deep frying the turkey this year, and another the
ham. So this will be my contribution.

So would this be a veal brisket? Or just some sort of pigmy cow?

Somebody lied to you on the packaging. An you should know better
then to think that a packer cut brisket could weigh as little as 4.25lbs.
I've never seen a flat under 7lbs.

This is flat + point, though the point is a little
under-developed. The fat cap is thin as well.

And I certainly know a brisket when I see one.


I want one. Hell, I want ten. That'd be just about the right size for me
since the ol' lady don't eat real meat anymore.
