Oxtail…still worth it? 😏🤣
How much does chicken feet cost per pound today? I live on the East Coast.
Small order of oxtail is $25 in the 6ix. Absurd. I can trust David to be aware of important and obscure topics like this. 😆
Looks like rice with peas. I always need way more peas. And agreed re the fat!!
They used to discard the Ixtail and the cow foot back in the 80’s in Toronto it’s the Jamaicans why the slaughter houses start selling it
Oxtail ? Thats not common here in West Europe…. never eat it. And never seen a restaurant with oxtail on the menu…. i love to try-out for sure! Greetingz from Belgium ❤
Davidbeenhere, Watching you from the 🇬🇧 ,and alsi saw when you metvup with COLAZ SMITH TV THE LEGEND AND ALL IS TEAM'S
Good morning, excellent video,.!
It’s rice&peas David
Hey David. To think what was once considered scraps is now costing an arm & a leg. I’m like 😮 when I see the price of chicken wings in the store. Lawd all I want is the gravy over rice and peas 🙌🏼😂. I don’t eat oxtail. Love the flavor of the gravy. The fella at Gaucho ranch very informative. How are you at Myrtle’s eating the oxtail with no rice n peas? And the next spot too ? True David. If the taste and flavor is there, folks will pay. But less. My husband used to eat oxtail bout 1 a week. Now it’s every now and then. Thanks David. It’s a worldwide issue the cost. 💲
Hi how things my friend this jessie from Trinidad 🇹🇹 😊
Were you in oistins Barbados in January???
Blessings Davidsbeehere 🙌🙌
I am a Jamaican but I blame us Jamaicans for the price of oxtail to be so high. I know that oxtails sell and cook around the world but you never hear or see any other country/Island people posting about oxtails like Jamaicans we do that because of how we cook oxtails is soooo delicious and most people don’t matter where they come from the way we Jamaicans talk about it makes people want to try it and when they do they too enjoy it and post it as well and next thing so much people want to buy and try to cook it like us that’s why the price keeps going up because it’s in demand so yes I blame us 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲😀😀
Expensive because random restaurants want to cook Jamaican food..
important to explain that the reason we learned to cook these cuts of meat such as oxtail, chicken wings and chicken feet was due to slavery. we ate what the slave masters threw away. So this switch fits perfectly with biblical prophecy so I will leave you to research this.
Been watching you for awhile..
As a Trinidadian I can confirm any dish cooked in Trinidad from a Trini is a banger 👌😋
Yes, it's definitely worth it. Aside from its fat content, oxtail is very succulent.
I treat myself to oxtail 2/3 times a year! I usually spend 100+ to cook for my family of 6. It's costly, but baby, it's soooo good!!!!
They don't have a race war in trinidad why should the prices go up. Besides thev8ndians that think they are superior
I LOVE OXTAILS ❤ NYC PRICE HIGH TOO 😢
Oxtail is yummy 😋
