    Growing up in New England, I’ve eaten this a couple times a year for over forty years.

    First, boil your meat and your vegetables separately. The meat will have better texture, and the vegetable less salt.

    The brisket often comes with fat, and I recommend you trim that off when its raw, but cook it along with the rest, removing it for future use before serving.

    After skimming, take off the heat, wrap four or five ice cubes in paper towel and skim the top of stock with that, very rapidly, and you can pick up every speck.

    Lastly, pair this meal with spicy, grainy mustard (Polish mustard is my favorite) and hearty black bread & butter.

    Cold beer could not hurt either.

    Enjoy ;-)
