Brisket - Can You get it in Spain?
Has anyone bought a joint of brisket on the bone here in Spain? If so what do you ask for?

You could also ask for 'pecho de ternera'.

Sorry I don't, Katee told me we have even had one! she bought it and cut it into samll cubes and added it to pasta one evening.
I think the best thing to do would be visit your local carneceria and have a look around the counters, they should be on sale in there.
One tip. never buy pre-packed meat from the likes of Carrefour etc, yolu never know what's lurking under the top row of nice looking chops. We bought a big pack of prok chops for a bbq in the summer and found half a pigs head under them!

A boy entered in a butcher shop, and he told to the butcher " my mother says that you gives me 10 grams of veal ". And the butcher told him: " tell to your mother that comes and it sharpens me the knife with the tongue "
