No, it's not. I fucking paid $19.99 for a small oxtail for one in Atlanta last night. I didn't look at the price until they told me what I owed.
Was sarcasm.
Prices are comedy today.
It’s frozen salt. Bruh.
THIS!
Most people dont know that Golden Krust has no standard recipe for most of their food.
So it isn't like McDonalds at all!!!
Every location is gonna be slightly different.

I had no idea why the prices have doubled, but the white people explanation makes sense. It’s real fucked up because oxtail is part of the cow they gave to slaves and did not fuck with.
I know a bit of history about the why.
I used to do graphics for 3 franchise owners prior to "food" selling. All the owners only used to buy patties and never offered anything else when the stores all started popping up.
Because the store owners were being raped (50% of sales) by the franchise, they got smart and started offering food. After a little while Golden Krust got keen and started making them pay a percentage of all sales. So there's no standard when it comes to food. All patties come from NY where the factory is so that is the only thing that would be consistent.
Food is just local as well as your cook/chef.
My wife cuz owns one here in Houston.
She's had issues with reliability of cooks so gave me the rundown on how things run as well.
Damn thanks for the info
Yeah I know a few people with family who owns franchises as well. As a franchise it'll make money outside of NY cuz of the name but to last in NY you gotta make sure your cooks are on point. In areas in the BX and BK, you'll find a Jamaican restaurant on damn near every corner like bodegas. A lot of them are fronts but you'll still be able to get a meal there.
Don't knock us out here in the boonies. I can't drive 5 mins and buy a pattie like when I was in Brooklyn.
These are passable.
Also frozen out here, we buy these skins for $6 a pack at Foodtown. Frozen and I usually stock up on them when my grocery has them.
You’re posting pita breads as patties? Bother, you’re fucking up this early in the night?Don't knock us out here in the boonies. I can't drive 5 mins and buy a pattie like when I was in Brooklyn.

The big issue also was shipping. She was the first to bust one in Houston. Not sure if they are the furthest state/store from NY as far as shipping the frozen patties. That was an issue for them in the past as a company, distance.
You read it? I said out here I also buy "skins", frozen. Have to make do, because stores aren't frequent nor as good as NY.
But that's not Pita bread, it's Dahl Poori Roti Skin.
I know you're Tobago, my wife is Trini, she approves.
Yep, fast food Jamaican food has too much sugar in it, you'll like it better if you make your own.
And those prices are crazy.
Festival supermarket, bravo and most supermarkets in the hood...
The white areas won't sell that.
They also sell fried plantations frozen too.
Plus they’re not sold everywhere, not they they’re rare but not every place makes them.
I guess some ppl don't know where oxtail comes from. Yes, a cow only has one tail.
If you like White Castle then you gotta do similar in biting the bullet on the frozen ones. If you live in areas like Florida or Georgia then they got bootleg nasty ass Krystal's as an alternativeDon't knock us out here in the boonies.

We eating cow ass?
Oh lawd.
I don’t eat oxtail. And I don’t eat crabs. I grew up on an island — I know the truth.
BTW if you live in NY or have visited and went to a Jamaican restaurant, chances are very high now that if you didn't get an oxtail meal but asked for oxtail gravy, you were probably charged extra for it. I remember seeing that trend start a few years ago with spots charging $0.50 extra for oxtail gravy
Should be able to find them in Walmart. Usually a cheap brand and a name brand.
Ex was from Philly. She used to love em
Bruh, I used to buy them by the case load for 10.. Now you cant get 5 oxtails for under $10..
Might just be where your getting your food. I always request more gravy and they've never uttered a word about extra $$ for gravy. As of last week.
Sandifer you need to stop,now you were born on Gilligans Island....right
It's multiple spots all across the BX & BK doing that shit. I live in NC now & where I get my Jamaican food doesn't pull that fuckery. Oxtail price has gone up but nothing over $15 for a meal.
