Was in Sav-A-Lot grocery today and saw fresh pork briskets, $1.49/lb and averaged about 2.5-2.8 Lbs.
Have never seen- or I missed it- on this forum.  Any thoughts are eggpreciated. TIA.

    I just read an article that says it's the bottom part of a picnic that has been deboned. When i first learned to do ribs, everyone was calling the flap on the spares the "brisket"

    I like to make chili from the "brisket" when cutting St Louis.

    This is not the "brisket" portion of ribs that become St Louis.  There is no bone/cartiligous in this meat and looks more like a small tenderloin.

    we are talking about 2 different things . The cut you are referring to is trimmed off the top to creat St. Lou's. The cut I'm talking about is on the back of the spares and looks like flank/skirt steak

    The part I am referring to is the flap near the belly, not the top and has some small bones/cartiligous.  I should have been a butcher 'cause I have butchered this thread-  must be the single malt.  Ask Mickey.
