Hi all,
Sorry to butt in on this thread, but I'm new to this forum and thought it would be the best place to ask for some advice.
I've been dabbling with smoking briskets over the past few months - I pick mine up from Smithfield for £4.50-£5.50/kg, that's for a whole brisket with the flat & point. They've turned out ok, but nothing like the brisket I've had over in the States. They just don't seem to have the marbling/fat that I'm looking for - probably down to the hormone injections the cattle are given in the US.
Would anyone here be able to advise about where I might be able to pick up a USDA brisket from in the UK (at a reasonable price!) as I'd be really keen to give it a go? An indicative costing would also be great.
Any help would be much appreciated, cheers!
