[Sca-cooks] brisket

[Louise Smithson]

Could someone please tell me what cut of meat brisket is in english?  
First off, I thought the word brisket WAS English, but I was told no.  
Then I told this person that brisket was the the best or first cut of  
roast....... what do I know? Could someone please enlighten me.
Many thanks.
