This sounds crazy but for religious reasons, I buy our meat from a particular butcher in town. He speaks enough English to get by but when I ask for a "brisket" cut, he has no idea what I'm talking about - maybe because they don't have the same type of cuts overseas.

He has a huge cooler full of beef in quarter sections hanging on hooks and I know that brisket comes from the front shoulder area but his seem to have all of the fat trimmed and I don't know specifically where the brisket comes from. Can anyone help me explain better?

Morning Chris,

wow, now that link to the pdf file on beef cuts is the best I have ever seen ! - anyone reading this should download it. Unbelievable !

I want to print it out, and may, but boy the black background is going to suck some ink out of the printer ( big grin )

thanks for posting Chris, awesome !

Mark.
