Default Real Texas Brisket Served How?

>>You are of course, correct. But to be even more correct, call the
>>point out not by its slang name, but by the more correct "deckle".


The decle and the point are two different things. Here is an excerpt
about brisket from the Virtual Bullet website:

"The deep pectoral muscle (the "inside lean surface") is commonly
referred to as the brisket flat, while the supraspinatus muscle is
commonly known as the brisket point.

Contrary to popular belief, the deckle is not the same thing as the
brisket point. Rather, it's the fat and muscle that attach the brisket
flat to the rib cage."
