night. What exactly is chopped brisket?

LOL! I have a fondness for *Southern* foods, since all of my family is
from NE Mississippi as far back as the mid-1800s. I suppose southern
cooking is my "comfort" food. I also am very fond of British cooking and
many ethnic cuisines.

Michael, it's a serving method, not a cooking method, and works well for
any fork-tender brisket. The meat is sliced 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick, then
the slices are chopped with a French chef's knife. How fine you prefer to
chop is is personal preference. I usually chop a bit of the fat into the
meat, as well, and chop it fairly coarse. This is excellent for sandwiches
or just piled onto a plate.

In this case, I simmered the brisket in a mixture of beef broth and water,
along with a large onion, 5-6 cloves of garlic, a bay leaf, whole
peppercorns, 3-4 whole allspice. and 2 whole cloves. I slice and chop the
brisket as needed, the remainder put back in the broth to stay moist.

I am coming by your house for dinner on my next trip through Phoenix.
Should be sometime in April, if I extend here. So you have plenty of
time to plan and prepare dinner for me.... Or it could be in early
January.... Still gives you time to plan out a good dinner and
prepare it. What are we having? 😉

Or, we could go to Pizzieria Bianco...or both... 😉

Heheheheehehe

I got to talking to Boli the other night in chat, about Southern
foods. I am from Virginia originally, and I am finding I like to get
back to my roots when I can.

I had my mother teach me a lot when I was growing up, but since I
moved away from Virginia, and since she died, I have been trying to
remember all I learned. I have forgotten some of it. I just now
relearned how to fry chicken like my mother did, even though I did it
at her direction for many, many years.

I am thinking of taking an assignment back in Virginia again, to be
near family, and to relearn what there is of my southern heritage.
Boli kept on asking me what I meant about southern heritage...and I
only could answer from what I knew from growing up. I know there is
a lot more.

I tend to go back to what I know for comfort too....the South is so
very comforting...

It has a great stabilizing and reaffirming effect.

I was also taught to cook at an early age by my mother. She lived with us
during the last 5 years of her life, and I made it a point to do a lot of
cooking with her, or at her direction. I've done a pretty good job of
documenting her cooking techniques as well as family recipes. Sometimes
when I have something in mind, I just sit and think through how she made
something before I start. As you well know, a lot of this cooking is by
"touch". :-)

That would be wonderful for you. I wish I could do that. I am an only
child, and have only an aunt still living in Mississippi. None of my many
cousins cook like their mothers did.

It is, indeed!
