I love corned beef brisket.  Unfortunately it is only available in
grocery stores around St. Patrick's Day.

Sorry.  I can get it all year long.

Wegmans has it only this time of year, is branded in their name.
it's consistently less salty than other brands. i'm indifferent
to it, is what my wife prefers so so be it. i used to grab a
half dozen this time of year. two for corned beef and cabbage
throughout the next year, the rest for smoked pastrami.

this year i decided to get only two Wegmans brand to free up
freezer space. BJs has corned beef year 'round. i'll get it there
when i'm making pastrami.

There are only a couple of brands that I like.  In any event,
I don't have any use for that much corned beef.  Neither of
us particularly likes it hot and boiled, and both of us prefer
pastrami for sandwiches.  Once in a while I'll buy half a pound
of pastrami and we'll make sandwiches.
