Without watching I will say, the reason for the skyrocketing of prices is because like all things the white man wants to take away what belongs to us. (No hate to you David, we love you)
Oxtail is not new, the Caribbean and Africa has always had it as a delicacy. But the whit man comes back around and says Waw this is what they were able to create from crap meat, n now they want it too. They request it at their parties at their wedding, everyday if they could.
Now it’s affordable for them but it’s dare for us.
The cycle continues.
Hi there David! To continue our 'joking Beard topic'.. I See you are gradually losin' the beard, first trimmin'.. now losin' the sides.. 😂🤣Greetz & Love from The Netherlands, Vinnie..
Anything black people profit off of gets expensive…that's why oxtails and chicken wings went up black people profit off chicken and oxtails and ribs
👍
Get creative and use the fat make tallow and sell it. The fat can be use to make fries 🍟. Just make sure that you are transparent
🇭🇹🇭🇹🗽
Porque a China compra tudo e paga bom preço….até 10, 20 anos atrás nao tinha valor….Aqui no Brasil maior exportador de carne do mundo também passa por essa condição
In the CT, Hartford area I bought some yesterday for $7.99/ lb and Spare Ribs for $1.29/ lb at Price Rite Market. I have also made fake oxtails with beef shanks and beef back ribs. Not the same, but turns out good. It's the seasoning baby … LOL
Growing up in the 80's oxtails, chicken and turkey necks and chicken feet was very cheap. My mom (RIP) only bought oxtails and chicken feet on special occasions back then. Oxtails was around 89 cents a pound and after I moved out and got my own place in the 90's, it was around $1.89 to $.199 a pound depending on where purchased. Nowadays I can't afford to buy oxtails unless it's on sale and even then it is too expensive. For me I would have to buy and make it for a special occasions. Thanks David for another great video.
I don't buy it or cook it.😊
My mom's ox tail soup is to die for.
those oxtails look really nice, great channel and video , brother !
Is rice and peas 😂
📌The Reason i feel because “they” know it is how we POC survived so they figure choke us out in our Traditional Survival foods!! 🫤
History shows how they gave us the parts and Innards of Animals 😢they didn’t want… we LIVED!
So now they figure!! OVER CHARGE AND LETS SEE WHAT HAPPENS!🤨🤨🤨
Not buying the grass fed from Florida🫤🤨 What the hell is that got to do with the TAIL‼️‼️.. all BS TRENDS
What else does a cow eat BUT grass??
people open your eyes
All this SOCIAL MEDIA AND TIC TOCK “TRENDS” destroyed our secret ‼️‼️‼️ No one was interested in our food and cuisine until the World Wide Web opened up!
I remember when oxtails and beef tongue cost 99 cents/lb. Now it's $8-12/lb.
Remember that $8-$12/lbs, the bone comes with the tail. You can buy a ribeye and it’s all meat.
Because now everyone is eating is this why
Should sell oxtails stocks..
Or better trade oxtails on the stock market..
Was slave's food .
Because les bbq got them poppen!! Rolling hot! Candy red softballs 😂
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. 😆
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 🇹🇹 😊
