It's one of those meats that if cooked correctly will fall off the bone, melt in your mouth, and taste like magic.
That being said tho, it takes HOURS to slimmer oxtail correctly, and there are a lot of steps in the cooking process where you could easily fuck the whole thing up.
It's easily in my top 5 of foods and yet I've only ever attempted to cook it myself twice. It takes too much work and it's just not worth it (imho).
With the high prices, I usually only have it once or twice a year now. Whenever I can make it back to mom's or other family. i.e. people I can trust not to fuck it up
