Thanks for clearing up what I must have missed, 37 year in the meat industry.baboon,
Brisket may well come from a PRIME carcass but remains what SHOULD BE a CHEAP & is a TOUGH CUT of meat. = It's the LONG cooking & smoke that changes the character of the tough cut to the tender/flavorful BBQ Brisket that ALL BBQ-fans love.
