Interesting point, here in this country we have a saying - Living high on the hog. That saying might have been brought over from Europe, I don't know.
The upper portions were considered "quality" meats, and the lower meats, such as brisket, were for poor people. I consider slow cooked brisket one of the better parts. Some places charge more for slow cooked/smoked brisket than they do for steaks.
