Brisket 101 and a spicy Mexican-style brisket recipe: Day 5
I did not know what brisket was. I had a faint inkling that it was a type of meat, likely from a four-legged mammal, but I did not know that it was a cut of beef. I would hear the word ‘brisket’ and a child-like song would echo in my head, “A brisket, a basket, a green and yellow basket” or something like that. But thanks to a few keystrokes into a search engine I quickly discovered that a) brisket is one of the eight primal cuts of beef and is from the breast area and b) the nursery rhyme I had ringing in my head was “A Tisket A Tasket.” Oops.
