Hi again guys,
this morning, i thought i'd share my experience about finding different meat cuts. Where i live, Quebec (Canada), it is really hard to find beef brisket or boston butt. In fact, it is nearly impossible to get it from any store, you have to know someone that can order from a distributor but even then, you'll end up with a full case of brisket or butt lol !
but, FINALLY, i found a solution to my problem and it is pretty cheap. During christmas i was talking with a butcher about my problems and he told me that, in order to get brisket or butt, i would have to find a butcher that order the entire beef or pork. But then, he had an epiphany and told me, "hey, you should call a school where they offer butchery formation" !
I look around on the internet and found one near me, and called. I talked to a teacher and there was no problem at all, he took my phone number and called me like 10 days later telling me my order was ready.
The price was pretty decent :
4$/kg for the brisket
3$/kg for the butt
2$/kg for the jowl
in order to give you an idea, last summer i was able to find a brisket at a local store (they had to order it) and it cost me 13$/KG !!!
One day, that might be a solution for you too
have a nice day
