thoughts on Oxtail?
>>21778732Chinaslop
>>21778732Unnecessary and gross
>>21778732>thoughts on Oxtail?Niche food. Overpriced.
>>21778732my parents would make them by boiling them for hours (we are white) they were poor people food.tasted fine with ketchup, but I haven't had them since I was maybe 8 or 9.
>>21778761>(we are white)spiritually you're not
>>21778766no we are. oxtails was a common thing at butcher shops in the 70's. now people act like they are caviar. I see them all the time but have no interest in eating poors food.
>>21778776go to bed gramps
Pretend flyovers... why are they even a thing?Oxtail is good, just like tongue
>>21778732never had them but i've heard they are good eating
>>21778782if you're african yeah
>>21778782>never had them but i've heard they are good eatingThey are one of these cuts that need long and slow cooking, they are pretty beefy actually. Oxtail soup is still very popular here in Britain but real Oxtails not so much. Nobody wants wants to spend ages cooking them anymore.
>>21778732I haven't eaten it in years since it hit meme status and hit a price point that defeated the entire point of the cut.
>>21778732high in collagen so tossing one or two into the pot if you're making a stew is a primo move for bumping up the brothnot really a fan of it being the focal point of a dish, however
>>21778732I never see this "Ox" for sale in the USA.
>>21778995Are you new to English?
>>21778999Are you new to being a faggot? Obviously not despite your trips.
>>21778732delicious, BUT>that shit has been in contact with literal shit and ass>too boney, not meaty enough>gel
>>21779058>never eaten it but I am only 12 years old
>>21778761hahaha us white people am I right? we're so lame and our food is so bland!
>>21778732cheap shite presented to be a delicacy.
This board is full of people who are addicted to fast food slop and can't imagine eating anything beyond what is served to them by corporations. Ox-tail is delicious. But most people here probably think it's yucky because it reminds them of an actual animal and not a factory-made patty.
>>21778732Overrated, cow foot and tripe is better
>>21778766Anon, white people used to survive off of cheap cuts during famines and harsh times... LIKE EVERY RACIAL GROUP SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME YOU SPIRITUALLY HOMOSEXUAL NIGGER FROM A CRACK SHACK IN BALTIMORE
white people eat the most nasty shit
>>21778732I would've loved to try them if only they hadn't become price-gouged to a comical extent
All the more reason to buy the whole cow. You get a great deal on steaks, roasts, hamburger, and the ends and organs. Just get a couple big freezers and you're set.
>>21779432farmbro, where is 90% of the population buying a whole cow?
Makes a lovely stew or curry. Love to make a broth with it. Add some white radish. Very fine food.
>>21779425Oxtail is very popular with black people
>>21779446Not at the supermarket. Don't pretend that the possibility is off the table for this convenient number of 90%.Anyone in the USA can get a cow, no problem. Or get a "side of beef", which is half a cow. I live in a big city, not a farm. I buy cows because I eat beef daily.
>>21779452When and where was that? We're in the 21st century now. Don't use the word "is" when it's not appropriate.
>>21778732batty price fuh gwan man give star.me live pon bed-stuy, many year ting.never mi fi gwan get an oxtail and pay, star, $20, $30, $40.oxtail wagwan be rasyout but de baclaat babylon done put da eye pon de tail.not worth a price, seen?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ipumt_rWvHo
>>21779476Now, today. It's a classic dish in Caribbean cuisine.
>>21779474>Not at the supermarketyou don't say
>>21778852just use a pressure cooker
it's a meme
Good food that can only be enjoyed by humans with a soul.
>>21778732it's basically the same as short rib.another thing tv chefs ruined, just like cheap pork loin.
>>21778735>>21778743>>21778759Woah, look at all the man-lets/cook-lets come out of the woodwork here.Ox-tail is one of them foods that kept people fed for many, many years, before America and fast food.Just because it doesn't come via a drive-thru or Uber-Eats, doesn't mean it isn't food.
>>21778779Get a job, Randy.
>>21779334This.
>>21779480Have you had a stroke or you just like this all of the time?
>>21779545he's speaking Jamaican i think
>>21778732costs more than steak for a trash can cut because retarded women saw it on TV
>>21778732usually too expensive, but almost always great in just about any (stewed or braised) preparation when they're not raking us over the coals for it
>>21778732Most flavorful part of the cow.
>>21779532the one guy is right thought it's niche food and it's overpriced now because it got memed by soccer moms which has made it even more niche since it's no longer priced in accord of its value. People buy it now to post pictures of it on Instagram. it's a veblin food.
>>21778732First worlders eat the good parts of the animal and leave weird shit like tails and bones and guts to third worlders. Not interested.
>>21782212I bet you are American ?It would be good if /ck/ had flags and then we could ignore your comments on food.
>>21782217>I bet you are American ? Damn right
>>21782167>>>21779532>the one guy is right thought it's niche food and it's overpriced now because it got memed by soccer moms which has made it even more niche since it's no longer priced in accord of its valueIt's nothing to do with white soccer moms, though. It's an indemand ethnic food, that is no longer priced like the scrap meat/pieces and parts original reason it became part of named dishes in the 3rd world cuisine. IIt is probably #2 most famous Jamaican national dish, a diaspora that lives everywhere else now enough to make it premium priced. Typical americans don't like to see offal meat, unless at an ethnic Jjmican-Chinese arket, but it's always available by asking. Jamaicans have a huge Chinese population, so the recipes are kind of fusion to both groups in Jamaica. You'll see soy sauce as part of the recipes.
>>21782240>It's an indemand ethnic foodI stopped reading there. Why do you Americans think that everything is ethnic food, just because it was not 'invented by America'? Do you realise that people have been eating thing long before your 'country' was even invented?
>>21778732black lady made me some for my birthdayi'm a fan
>>21778732I heard it's delicious and also enjoyed in some parts of the Caribbean. I never tried it though. I heard it's very gelatinous. It sounded gross back when I was offered, but id try it now if I could.
>>21782367Jamaican oxtails are so good. With the rice and peas, cabbage, and plantains, it's one of the best plates of food I've had.
>>21782375I hears. I was offered an oxtail stew that is poured over rice. Maybe it's the same? Idk but it sounds good now. Theres food i used to think was gross when I was younger, but I have a broader range of things I can enjoy now as an adult. So I'm curious about ox tail. It's unfortunate that it's so expensive now.
>>21782367It's got a lot of cartilage, but when you stew or braise it, all that melts into the sauce, so you get very tender meat with a rich, thick gravy. Same principle behind curried goat, porkolt, or chuck/shank beef stew.
