Watched it, still wished they would have called it something else. Low-Budget oxtail, or poor man's oxtail are alternatives.

Of the discarded meats that were given to slaves, oxtail was certainly the meatier and less fatty than the other cuts. But only slightly less All I know is, don't go for a lipid profile at the doctor's for at least two months after consuming oxtail.

Seriously gwine try it the turkey neck recipe on the weekend and will report back

turkey neck tough! It was pretty meaty all the same. But bwoy, it was very hard to cut. I had to use a cleaver and a hammer.

A true, when me was a child oxtail was a cheap cut of meat. Now it it cost as much per pound as sirloin. It can't be considered a poor man's meal anymore.
