Thread: Stay away from Oxtail

There really isn't too much fat on oxtail, and i would just worry about the source. Getting it from a local international market that specializes in halaal or kosher meats would be best IMO because they are closest to organic as you can get with out additives and hormones.

Maybe I'm wrong in assuming that oxtail is so good because of the seasonings used to cook it? If the fat is low and the amount of salt used to cook it isn't bad I dont see why you can't eat it. Find out nutritional values and you'll know if its worth eating.

is it grassfed oxtail?

I was just under the impression that the tender oxtail meat was a bit fatty besides the obvious white blobs you see on the edges. I normally get my oxtail from Caribbean or Dominican restaurants which are out of this world

I have no clue but that would be nice

Braised ox tail is yummy

Its usually so soft because its slow cooked...nothing about tail meat is tender without proper cooking. I had a roommate that tried to show me how yummy it was and that was some tuff as shit...she did it no justice.

Never had it before. Had a college roomate that would go apeshit over it...

I mean hell...how bad can it be. once a week nothing is bad for you except a 30weight motor oil shake or something
