I like to buy flat sections , maybe just 2 pounds. If you buy the small ones there is almost no fat. If you buy the big 5 or 6 pounders you usually end up cutting that big slab of fat off one side which is a waste. Also if you get small ones you cook it , eat a meal and maybe one day of hash or sandwiches and that's it. Couple months later you do it again. With a big one you eat it every day for a week and then you are happy its only once a year.
Good corned beef makes one of the best sandwiches. Few delis carry it but when I see one that does , its almost always my choice. Jim's Deli in Cumberland used to make a nice corned beef grinder.
