Does anyone really go through life without a hurricane brisket? I've also started keeping a freeze brisket just in case. Plus my generic emergency brisket and my weekly brisket.
With canned beans or something, you could just get a few pallets from what's stockpiled anyways.
But with brisket, you gotta slaughter that shit pretty much as it's being handed out, ideally have it cooled the whole time, but then it also has to be cooked before consumption. If people have to evacuate their homes, you gotta do the cooking for them, too...
One could also assume that it would be more feasible and financially viable to slaughter in the event of an impending hurricane. Bleak, but on point... or flat as it were. (Couldn't help myself)
