These things are on sale for almost nothing now. They are the fatty end of a
beef brisket that has been corned. Don't make great sandwiches, New England
Dinners, or much else, because of the fat.

But...they do make great brisket burnt ends! Find a decent recipe for burnt ends
and try it with the corned beef. At the end I use an apricot BBQ sauce and the
fruitiness counteracts the bite of the corned beef.

Truly spectacular dining, especially with corned beef point ends running $1.69
at Safeway. And, unlike toilet paper, there are not sold out!

I always get the flat cut and they are $3+ this week. I cooked one and
put one in the freezer for another day. That is better than half off
the regular price. The trick is finding one with the right amount of
fat. If it is too lean, it is a dried out slab but you don't want it
to just be a slab of fat either.

Flat cuts are the lean end of the brisket, and more expensive. For a
roast,dinner, or Reuben sandwiches, the flat cut is the only way to go. Here the
flat ends are running about $1 higher than the point cut. I put a couple flat
cuts in the freezer also. Right now I've go four or five corned beefs in the
freezer. May get a couple more when the price goes down after St. Pat's day.

St Pats day is what caused the sale. They tend to cost as much as a
nice roast on regular days. (~$7 a pound)

Of course! I wait all year for St. Pat's day. Once that's past the price doubles
or triples.
