All you pedants! Forbear! Mr. Tea had the best, and most entertaining,
suggestion yet. None of you has a patch on "briskets". I like "briskets".
(For that matter, I like briskets too.) Accept Mr. Tea's offering (and I
haven't quite understood whether said offering also includes a warm pot and
its contents), or go off and ruminate until you come up with something
better.
