Flat cut brisket- equivalent in UK?

I guess i thought it was going to be like some deep dark little-known secret of Jewish cookery, that if you eat this one certain part of the cow... magic things happen.   Something like that.

Maybe it does... but that's not a secret I'm going to reveal. 

a-ha... i see!
yis are just trying to throw me off the trail by saying 'it's just pot roast'! 

It's not pot roast. Close, though.  Pot roast usually comes from shoulder cuts.

Actually, I thought pot roast was usually rump.

It's possible, but that would be one expensive pot roast!  (and called rump roast).

So its agreed, Jews love brisket.

This Jew finds brisket wholly unappetizing.

Thanks for all the replies.  I have looked at one of the rolled  briskets but if I unroll it it will be very thin, so I don't think it will work for my purpose. 

What other boneless UK cuts do you folks use for pot roasts?  I need something that will stand up to the curing process for the spiced beef, but that is an even thickness (like a flat cut brisket!) so the spices will penetrate.

Thanks

I would imagine if you went into your local butcher & explained what it is that you want - possibly a little in advance in case they need time to prepare it, they would probably cut it to order for you.

Nothing yummier than a brisket.  I will vouch for it personally.  Especially at a seder.
