My wife and I decided that we would do a good Irish dinner for our kid when he gets home from college on March 17th. Which means, of course, corned beef. I was going to grab a hunk of brisket flat at the grocery store .... thinking that it's going to be corned anyhow, so it should be fine. My wife said "no, go down to the butcher shop and get some of that Painted Hills beef that you love so much"
Is there going to be a real difference given that the brisket gets cured and boiled? Will that grass fed, free range Painted Hills beef (which creates superb steaks!) make a huge difference to my corned beef on St. Patty's? Should I corn the cheap brisket like the Irish peasants did?
Thoughts and input welcome.
