accepted usage. I get irritated to have to order "extra moist"
because of the morphing of the language by people who don't
know good from evil. Anyhow, I shake my head at people who
want lean brisket. It's like asking for a grilled cheese with
lowfat cheese.
Here's the thing: What matters is how thinly the brisket is sliced. I like it extremely extremely thinly cut. If it's cut how I want, I don't mind the fat. If it's a thicker cut, then I don't want a thick piece of fat at the end of it because, well, thick pieces of fat are disgusting.
