Brisket points
Recently realized: I see a whole lot of brisket flats for sale. So what was done with the points?

Some are ground into burger, some are corned.
Now, at my house.... points are treated differently, and with respect.

I think they just toss the points in with the rest of the trim and grind 'er all together...... but ground brisket & chuck do make a great burger.

That's interesting that you brought this up. I was at Costco last week checking out the meat section and saw all the flats and thought the same thing.
I might have to talk to the meat guys there and see if I can get the points for a discounted price. They sell the flats for around $6 per lb and I'm not paying that much for any part of a brisket. Jerry

And, that price is interesting. The flats at my Costco (Utah) are about $4 a pound...or was when I got one in July.

I had been buying my briskets from Sam's for years, up until this past June when I couldn't get a point any longer. Talked with the meat manager whom I have come to know throught the years and he explained that, however hard he tried, he couldn't get a packer or point from his distribution center. Nothing but flats these days. And the price has skyrocketed. Haven't beren able to find a point around here since mid-June. :-(

The Costco in Chino Hills is the same way. Most of the time it's just flats, every so often they have a whole brisket.
