Cab Whole Brisket

[jacob]

I seen one at the pig, 25# worth, I was just wandering if it was really worth cooking the whole thing. The price was in the low thirties which I thought was pretty good for the size. But if it ain't worth the effort I will get a 3# Prime for the same price.

25 lb brisket???

Wow, that is a huge brisket.

I try to get CAB any time I can, I just get better results. If you can pay around $1.70/lb, I say go for it. Seperate the point from flat, then cook away.

Our local grocer carries CAB flats for us at that price. A few slices brought in for the meat dept. helps to grease the wheels. It all started with Wyatt's brisket featured in his avatar.

Maybe I am a dunce, but what is "CAB"?

Correct
Certified Angus Beef. It's a brand name only. Not a USDA classification. Some prefer it.

If you do go back, look at it closely. I've never heard of a 25 lb brisket. Does it still have the bones (what bone is that, the sternum?) attached to it?

Brisket is beef, not pork.

I think your getting pork belly

Sounds more like a clod than a brisket.

25# CAB @ $1.70 a pound. Clod or Brisket...buy it.

 

[parrothead]

We get CAB Prime brisket delivered to the door right at about $1.80 per pound right now.

Here is the link. Less than 8% of beef qualifies for the program.

Well! Where's the Beef?

Obviously, another non-thread thread!!

OK I made a slight mistake, I don't know what it was I saw because it was gone. I assume I was reading the tag wrong, they were all thrown together with other stuff.

I did pick up a nice size cab Brisket for around 18.00 and a eye of round for 14.00 and 2 Butts for the freezer @ .99 #.

Any one know anything about eye of round?

I guess I need to take a picture or you all wont believe me will you.
