I LOVE beef brisket which "corned beef" is.
I love it so much, I buy a bunch of them this time of year and freeze them for later.
I usually plan for 1 a month until next March.
Sure, it may sound weird until you see what the same piece of meat cost 1 week from now.
Now - $1.29 lb. for point cut, $2.49 for flat cut.
Next week - 2 or 3 x this much. for comparison, a $5.00 brisket now will cost more than $10.00 after this week.
I already have 9 in the deep freeze, and they hold up very well since they are vacuum packed.
I become my family favorite when I break one out later in the year.
The best part for me is that many of my neices and nephews like it as well, so it NEVER, EVER goes to waste!
I have 1 left from last year that I will cook for Wednesday, and I will be stocking up on Guiness and Smithwicks.
