What Is An "English" Roast?

[MichChef]

Any idea what that cut of meat is like or what it compares to? A local store has them for $1.99 lb which is cheaper than chucks and most ground beef. I want to so some beef smokin' and thought I might give one or two of these a try if they're a cut worth smokin'. I'd also like to grind some up for burger and if there isn't enough fat on them, I'd toss some bacon in too.

John,

I think it is a "prefered' part of the chuck roast. I've used them and they smoke real well(fatty) and make great burger. At a buck99 I'd be snaching some up.

An English Roast is cut from the chuck section of the cow. My wife is English and makes a mean Pot Roast...

My grandmother used to make something called a "French Roast". We've never been able to figure out what it was. I wonder if this is the same thing or something different? (Sorry if this is a bit of a hijack.)
