Countries have different names for different cuts of beef. For example, brisket in the US is from a different portion of beef than in the UK.
I've actually never heard of brisket before, what' sthat? 
Brisket is a cut of meat from the breast or lower chest of beef. It is also called brisket in the same cut of veal. Brisket is also one of the nine primal cuts of beef.
One of nine! Interesting, is brisket the best part of the nine cuts? If not, which one is?
Brisket can be expensive and is considered one of the best part of the nine cuts.
