Cheap and oh so good when slow cooked all day. <BR/><BR/>I call my butcher and order a certain £ worth and its all chopped and ready to collect on my way home from work ready to sling into the slow cooker to slowly cook all the next day ready for supper.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15094410176291432235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3362152498675364583.post-1780324901471681782008-08-13T08:05:00.000+01:002008-08-13T08:05:00.000+01:00Thanks Fiona!

I still use my Mum's recipe but brisket isn't that cheap anymore, although I tried other cuts of meat and just can't replicate the same taste. <BR/><BR/>I recently paid £6 for a piece of brisket which made a big pot of scouse, enough to feed 6 so I suppose with the veg and potatoes it cost about £10 in total.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124374747737466986noreply@blogger.com
