Re: Jamaican Party Food
Curry Goat is a staple at Jamaican parties. If budget doesn't allow for goat, then curry chicken.7/5th of all people do not understand fractions.Comment

I was going to post up in here and then thought how in the world can I chime in lol? I was going to say rice and peas should be a good cheap dish.
But the reason I'm quoting you is because I want to know where folks are buying oxtails. The ones I buy are sky high. It doesn't make sense for them to charge even more than they do for cuts of steak that I never eat except at restaurants.
So as far as budget shopping goes, where are folks buying oxtails for the old school price?Comment
