How can i tell the right side from the left side on a beef brisket?

Question

i watched on a tv program that the left side of the brisket is going to be alot more tender than the right side.....but i dont know how to tell the right from the left can you help me out with this one

Answer 1

I think either one will be pretty tough. Just cook it until it is tender.  

Answer 2

That's pretty weird.  I've never heard that and have no idea.  A brisket should be cooked long and slow, and it will be tender.  Slice it across the grain......

Answer 3

Never heard of that, but I like the idea of giving it a pen.  But, if it's left-handed, you're screwed.

Answer 4

I don't know,but my niece served this at her wedding reception last weekend,and I didn't like it at all,was not impressed,they had it professionally cooked and sliced,I would have rather had chicken !!

Answer 5

Give it a pen and see what side it uses to write with.
