I was going to say the same about not so cheap anymore. A decent piece of meat at Motis is going to be upwards of thirty dollars and it shrinks. I don't know if they will trim it for you but probably. Anyway if you've ever had good brisket cooked low and slow you'll understand. It's like Jewish BBQ.Anonymous wrote:This isn’t a response to OP’s question, but for those who want to cook a brisket: it isn’t such a cheap cut anymore, BUT it’s the one meat I regularly buy at Trader Joe’s. They usually have 3-4 lb kosher and non-kosher briskets that are nicely trimmed. I cook them in my instant pot to make meat for tacos.

No dairy is not a Pesach prerequisite.
Yes that is right (PP here). But you can't do the meat and milk together and a brisket meal is easy to do without dairy. (eg, many Italian meat dishes have cheese).
The idea of dairy & meat is not scripturally based but rather rabbincal rules. In scripture, Avraham served Yahuah & the two angels with him bread & a calf dressed with milk & butter.
See: And Avraham hastened into the tent unto El-Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. And Avraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hastened to dress it. And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat. BERE'SHIYTH (GENESIS) 18:6-8
This is why it's so stupid when people say that they want to have a Seder exactly like Jesus did. Jesus did not live under Kosher rules. Jesus did not celebrate Seder like Jews do now. Judaism was not practiced as we know it.
Well, as gross as I think it is for Christians to co-opt seders, Jesus kept Kashrut and other Jewish laws - because he was a Jew. And using the story of Abraham as an example is - odd - a) it would have been before the Torah was given to the Jews; b) Abraham is said to have kept all of the laws of the Torah anyway; c) his guests were non-Jews, so he could serve them whatever; d) one can eat meat almost immediately after eating dairy - so it's unclear whether they ate the dairy as a first course, and then ate the meat, etc.
