When I posted this on another thread:
"When I lived in Texas in the late eighties lamb (imported from New Zealand) was seen as pet food and dirt cheap, so we lived on lamb in all its wonderful variations. Now in Oz, and that greatest of delicacies, ox tail, is literally sold in the pet food section. Cooked long and slow with red wine, garlic, bay leaves and a chilli or two - man oh man! Heaven!"
I expected at least some reaction along the lines of "oh yuk" or "are you effing mad?" or "what hell-hole did you crawl from where you had to eat that?". But no reaction at all? Are you so disgusted? Is there anybody on Mud that has eaten oxtail - done properly? If you can get it and are brave enough I will post a recipe, and you will never want to eat anything else (OK well maybe not quite).
