Hi all;

I've not been able to find a full brisket (cap on, untrimed) anywhere
near here. I can get trimmed brisket flats (5-7 lbs) at most any
supermarket, but no full briskets.

Can anybody tell me where I can get one? Preferably in a cryo pack.

Thanks a heap,
-Zz

I saw one at Cash and Carry in Oakland the other day. I'm guessing you have
a Cash and Carry near Sacto.
As well you might try Smart and Final, or Costco. I'm sure you've exhausted
the latter, however.

Smart and Final carries "almost" full briskets. A lot of the cap is off and
the flat is shortened.
We were told by our Costco that "we don't carry "low" cuts of meat, such as
brisket."

Get THIS: My local Costco's meat manager:
1. Stopped carrying flap meat altogether, and
2. Started selling beef "tenderloins" that consisted of two butt ends
stuck together, with the cut nearly imperceptable. For the same pice
per lb as a real tenderloin.

Apparently, enough people complained, as the store now has flap meat
and full tenderloins.

The "(Sacramento, CA area)" in the subject line didn't do it for you?

Did it for me! d8).

Sam's club carries the flats. I wonder if a phone call to them would
produce any good results.

Speaking of Super Wal-Mart, does the one down by the Tulalip (It *is* a
Super, isn't it?) carry full cut brisket? I need one for this weekends
cook...

I guess I could call them....

I buy mine at Smart & Final here in the Bay Area. You have several stores in the
Sacto area. They have had them there "almost" every time I've wanted one--cryo
packed.

However, if they don't have them in the meat case, good luck trying to get one
out of the back. They apparently get meat by the truckload, and won't go looking
for a particular cut. At least the Smart & Final I shop at won't.

As an aside, I went to my local Safeway once and asked the butcher if they had a
brisket in a packer's cut. The "butcher" just looked at me as if I had asked him
for zebra meat.

Only "Super Walmarts" carry any food to speak of. I'm pretty sure the
"Super" in Sacto doesn't have cryovac brisket.
In the Bay Area we don't have the "Supers" yet.

When I saw the words "Heinz 57", I says to myself, Beware! Glad I kept
my mouth shut...

I was just there and didn't see one. I cruised Smart and Final and didn't
either.
I would try Cash and Carry if there is one in your area.
