Big Dad, glad to hear it turned out so good!
Lily, a brisket is a cut of fatty beef from the lower chest of the cow. It's a relatively inexpensive cut of meat, but as you probably know, the fattier the cut, the more flavor. Most often, it comes in large cuts, 5lbs and up, like an extra large roast. It's more popular in the southern states, where we tend to do a better job of utilizing more (less waste) of an animal...and making it taste good.
