On Saturday, I picked up a corned beef (Shenson's) at Safeway. When I got it home, I noticed that the cut was a "round," rather than a "brisket." I wasn't aware that corned beef came in two different cuts ... I just thought that corned beef was corned beef.
The "round" is a leaner cut (it's, essentially, a London Broil), and the brisket "point" is a fattier cut. There were some cautions, on some websites/blogs, that warned against cooking the round too long, as it would dry out more easily. I thought "OK, it's leaner - but, this is once a year." So, I took it back and got a brisket. That fatty texture is one of the joys of corned beef.
