Damn that sounds like a lot of brisket.

What do you guys normally do when your freeze the leftovers?

Ideally you'd vacuum seal it in portions. But I just chuck some in freezer bags and try to get all the air out and don't leave it in the freezer for too long.

It's that postage cost that puts it at £10/kg, which is bloody expensive for brisket

I think turner and george is free p&p over 40 quid. The 2 packer is 48 odd.

Last time I looked there was no free postage outside greater London

Ahh. Must admit I didn't look that hard.

I'm lucky there - Live inside the M25, so free delivery from T&G.

The short ribs, by the way, were phenominal. Definitely doing them again. Come out like lollipops with fist sized lump of beef on the end. And the taste....

From T&G or Hixon? Keep looking at the Galician ones on Hixon and wondering if they are worth the money. They look amazing.

I bought a packer from Tom Hixson last week, £35. It was Australian beef, had lots of gold and silver award stickers on the packaging but I really didn't pay much attention to what they were. I was a bit dubious about Australian beef, it doesn't really have much of a reputation however it came out well, a bit dry in the flat but I didn't separate it in time however I've used it to make a brisket chilli and it turned out very well. As for the taste, not much to get excited about, I've had far tastier British beef. Delivery was free because I added some bavette steak,pork shoulders, ribs, gammon and sausages to the order so that it came to over £100. The ribs were Spanish pork, tasted ok, sausages were 62% pork and contained MSG and tasted like you'd expect them to taste, wouldn't buy again and the gammon was from EU pork (not specified) and pumped with water.

I think I'll try Turner and George next.
