One of the butchers we use frequently and also does nationwide delivery is : https://www.braceofbutchers.co.uk A lot of their beef comes from a farm just a mile or two away, various breeds of cattle, although we avoid Charolais etc. No doubt they'd provide you with a well hung full packer if you asked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekobo Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) Great to see your KK in position and looking forward to seeing how you use it. I love brisket but don't do that many. Given most butchers bone and roll brisket I usually ask the farmer to bone it and send it whole and I do the trimming myself with varying degrees of success. I buy from both of these suppliers regularly and, given they mainly supply restaurants, I am sure they will know what you want if you ask them to provide you with a full packer brisket. Talk to Richard at https://www.huntsham.com and Dan at https://www.lakedistrictfarmers.co.uk. Edited November 23, 2020 by tekobo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sourced it from a family member's Argentinean father in law. He generally doesn't measure things but I watched him make it and came up with these general amounts. The amounts of parsley and EVOO are pretty forgiving. 1 bunch Parsley 8 garlic cloves, chopped fine 1/2 Tbsp red pepper flakes White vinegar White pepper Black pepper 1/2 Tbsp kosher salt Extra Virgin Olive Oil - enough to cover all ingredients plus a little extra. Remove the larger parsley stems and chop parsley fine. Add all ingredients. White vinegar should be about 1-2 Tbsp's. Just a little white pepper and black pepper to taste. Stir. It keeps in the refrigerator a looong time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
