Being mostly Q-deprived in the Northwest I was surprised to find that many
of the larger Safeways in the Seattle area have, at their "carving station",
brisket on Tuesday night. $5.99/lbs. I tried it and found it a bit dry but
amazingly good. A real smoke ring and a nice cut of meat. The tag on it
said "Sadler's." I asked how they get it and they say it comes frozen.
They thaw it and heat it up. I asked if I could buy it bulk/frozen and they
said yes. So I bought a large brisket, they sliced it frozen and vac-packed
it into individual 2 pound baggies at no charge. I googled Sadler's and
came up with this: http://www.sadlersbbq.com/

So it seems it's the real deal. Thing is, when I thawed it, wrapped it in
foil, added a bit of water and slowly brought it up to warm it was much more
tender than what Safeway was serving under their heat lamp. This stuff is
really good and if you're too lazy (Like I am sometime) to do your own this
is good stuff. I'm told that Sam's club carries it but I'm not a member so
I can't verify that. I wish Costco would.

Anyone else heard of this product?

Sam's has the best brisket. Spend the $35 and get a card. Safeway bought
one of our local chains and then promptly closed them.

When I visited my brother outside Portland all I could find was a small
square "thing" that had all the fat trimmed off. I told the butcher
that I wanted a 12 pounder and keep the knife away. He told me that is
the way they come in, but he cuts them in half and trims all the fat off.

Happens all the time.

Top posting, that is.


Also the brisket flat is all the time sold at exorbitant prices. **** that.

If you can't find a whole, packer cut brisket, avoid the endeavor
altogether.

It's been standard for years to put your reply at the *END* of the psot.
Why do you insist on going against the grain?

If you want to be read, put your reply at the end of teh psot.

Check it out, it's simple. Question first, answer second.

Ah, the advantages of top-posting.

Easy for the lazy Usenet browser, difficult to make head or tails of for
the regular readers.

Read it from the top down bitch! How much ****ing sense does it make?

I've heard great things about Dave's place. I do do some of it myself. I'm
just comparing the NW with, let's say, Texas (where I spend a good deal of
time). While not my favorite place on earth it's nice to have Q joints as
common as Thai places or lattes in Seattle.

I don't mean to bash newsgroups. I have learned a lot, here and on others.
But sometimes the replies get so off-track that you can't really know what
the original thread is about. It also descends into needless name-calling
sometimes. What's wrong with a little civility?

Thanks for the reminder of Dave's. Gotta get over there!

Civility also includes abiding by long-standing conventions of posting
to the Usernet. Your Rodney King plea for us all to get along would be
more persuasive if it wasn't part of a top-posted, full-quoted
message.

And, no, no one here is interested in why you think top-posting and
full-quoting are the bee's knees.

Really.

Harry, Next time you want to killfile someone you might not want to post
it. Although not as dramatic, that way the poster in question won't know
that all he has to do is change a character or two in his already munged
return email address to circumvent your efforts. Just a suggestion.

I do both. But will go public if the guy really cheesed me instead of
