What to ask for when buying Brisket

Hi guys.. Sorry if this is the wrong forum..

After a single season BBQing I tried brisket a couple of times and have always been confused by exactly what to ask for when at the counter of the butchers. I ask for "Brisket" and I always end up with a de-boned & rolled thin bit of rubbish!

Can someone advise me exactly what cut I should be asking for to get those frikkin huge American-style briskets I see on the BBQ shows? (I did ask for this in my local butcher and they looked at me like I was from another planet)

Also.. Anyone recommend a good farm shop / butchers in or around the Reading area.

Cheers guys!

Hi,

If you speak to Jennings in the precinct in Caversham, tell them you want a brisket like Steve has for BBQing, they'll sort you out. Speak to Michael and you might need to give him a week's notice but he will get you a good one.

Thats Awesome advice! Thanks so much guys!

Looks like Jennings will be getting a bit more business in 2012 :)

All the best for the new year and thanks again for the help!
