What is what part of the cow is brisket?

The brisket is a cut of beef that comes from the lower chest or breast of the cow. It is a tough and flavorful cut of meat that is often used for slow cooking in dishes like barbecue, stews, and soups. The brisket contains a lot of connective tissue and fat, which makes it ideal for slow cooking methods that help to break down these tough fibers, resulting in a tender and delicious end product. This cut of meat is also popular in Jewish cuisine and is traditionally used to make corned beef and pastrami.
