brisket

Hey all, can't believe I'm posting this after five years of living here, but what is the nearest
equivalent to brisket of beef here in the UK? Just saw a recipe for country hash I want to try. Any other good American food tips welcome, I'm home and want to cook!

Salt beef is pretty much corned beef without the seasoning packet.  If it's not with the roasts/beef, ask the butcher.  Silverside is very much like unbrined salt beef (edit: although it isn't from the same bit of the cow).

Brisket is widely available, it's a pretty normal cut.

(I regularly buy it from Tesco in Stockport which I think counts as a benchmark for widely available and un-elitist!  If you can't get it in the supermarket any buthcher worthy of the name should be able to get you some.)

yup, Brisket is available everywhere. Its my signature dish, and people are BEGGING me to make it for them! You should be able to find it at any supermarket.

Yes, just saw it! What is wrong with me? I'd thought they called it something else here.

Racheeeee? Is there any way I can get your receipe for your brisket??

Sure, my recipe is simple!! Plop one brisket into your crock pot with one bottle of BBQ sauce of your choosing, throw in some garlic, some onions, a carrot or two cut up. Cook on High for like an hour, throw that baby down to the lowest setting and let it cook for oh, maybe 6 hours.

Don't cut it right away, my big secret is to pop it in the fridge until the next day, cut it up while its cold, and heat it up again when it suits you. It also freezes beautifully!!!

Enjoy!
