Brisket point question

February 17, 2023, 04:09 PM

Just left Costco earlier.
was perusing the meat section, and they carry full packers as well as just flats. What happens to the point that no longer goes with that flat?
If they sell flats, why not points?
inquiring minds want to know...

Grind for burger, I'd imagine. Or maybe processed into commercial pastrami/corned beef.

I have occasionally seen corned beef points around St paddy's Day, but not at other times.

Sometimes CreekstoneFarms.com will sell twin packs of points. I like to snag them when I see them since the point is my fave and as you point out hard to find.

I asked that question of my butcher at Wegman’s. Those who say, “ground for burgers” are correct, according to him.
