I'd be shocked if a butcher couldn't do it.
I've spoken to like 5 of them here and they could all do it.
Hell even T&T could do it. I think. English <> Chinese isn't my strong suit.
I was either getting a packer or a turkey.

I bought Excel (Cargill) packers at Skyland before I moved out of the area. Located beside the pickled feet. Link to flyer, http://www.skylandfoodmart.com/

I'll bring my token Asian friend. It's great when I argue with vendors and he has to tell them what I said...although I never really know what he is saying I said...death_hawk wrote: ↑I'd be shocked if a butcher couldn't do it.

I want that full brisket, not just the point. I wonder if Blue Sky can do it? I'll bring my friend before I get a turkey...

Hey AudiDude did you end up buying a whole packer brisket from somewhere? Curious what kind of prices/quality you came across. I am thinking of picking one up in Hamilton as I live closer to Hamilton than Toronto but open to Toronto as well.

No luck yet. Went to Skyland yesterday and found out Blue Sky is an updated carbon copy of a rundown Skyland.

Is a packer brisket the brisket with the flat and point separated by a layer of fat? And is that the same as what places call a double? Seems like we have different terms compared to the US, which is where most bbq articles come from.
Anyways, I've bought a brisket with flat and point from the Butcher Shop at Kingston and Markham before.

I bought 'em at the butcher shoppe as well, back in the day they were about $5 a pound. I can't even guess how much they would be today. I haven't bought a packer in a few years. I used to get 'em in Buffalo for $1.25 per pound in 2005 and 2006, I was spoiled and always felt ripped off buying them here.

I don't know where he got it... But i chipped in for it and it cost $5.99/lb...
I thought it was kind of expensive for what is suppose to be a cheap lower end cut of beef.

All the low end cuts are going up because people are realizing they're delicious.
I don't know where you're getting $6/lb briskets but shut up and take my money.
Last I looked a brisket out of a good butcher here is $8/lb.
Sad thing is... I'm almost paying that much for tongue nowadays....

I predict honeycomb tripe will be the next big thing. In a crock pot! Get it while you can at $3/lb, pure protein, no fat or gristle.

jayt90, i've been feeling for some tripe lately and was going to hit up an Ethopian restaurant but now you're making me think to just make it myself.
I prefer the goat tripe though.

Yah, so many cuts of meat that used to be cheap are now as expensive or more than other more typical cuts of meat. Haven't bought oxtail in forever because it costs so much more now. Pork shoulder seems to be one of the few that you can still get at a cheap price.death_hawk wrote: ↑All the low end cuts are going up because people are realizing they're delicious.

Living in Australia now and the best buy here is chicken wings. You can buy full chicken wings for 2.50/kg from the market, and cheaper on sale from grocery stores. Have 3 kilos that I am going to cut apart and eat tonight that I paid 6 bucks for!
