Those ancient conquering bastards sure had an effed up way of cipherin'.

Ha ha ha I know

 

[wildcatdonf]

Speaking of which...I'd truly like to get into one honest fistfight before I get too old, because I know there's a surprising threshold of pain I can take (and deliver). When I rage, I go full-retard.

I bailed an older man out of jail once when I was working in Covington, Ky. A young guy picked a fight with the guy I bailed out. He was 55 or so. A stone mason.weighing about 160 pounds as I remember. He sent the younger man to the ER. Don't pick on a stone mason, KK.

Most Caucasians don't ever get to enjoy Ox Tail. A delicacy.

I just hear people rap about ox tails. What's it like?

 

[Mashburned]

Speaking of oxen (all you rubes take note how I properly pluralized 'ox'), I've always been a fan of oxblood shoes, belts, and various other leather accoutrements.

I describe the taste as "good"

Real tender juicy beef. I love it.

 

[GhostVol]

Of course she's hot now. She isn't married yet. Look around and count all the chicks that stayed hot after marriage. It's a low number.

This man speaks truth. Ex-wifey was 128 lbs when we married. At her heaviest while we were together, she was 170. After we split up, she's back to around 135 and effing gorgeous. To this day, guy friends think I'm insane for divorcing her. I just smile at them sadly and remind myself "You guys are thinking with your small head. Try LIVING with her..."

 

[Willy4UK]

I eat oxtail when I eat at Jah Love, which is a Jamaican joint. Great food

Ox tail is like brisket. Low and slow is the ONLY way to prepare it. When I fix some, it's fair...but find a Jamaican to fix it and you'll find yourself sucking the bone after you gnaw all the meat off!

Bump this

 

[Willy4UK]

I like the salted fish and callaloo at Jamaican joints too

 

[GhostVol]

Can't do the salted fish anymore (damn hypertension), but I'm always down for some good callaloo. And you're required to wash it down with Red Stripe.

 

[Willy4UK]

Can't do it every time either. Too much salt, but damn do I love it.

I got a Jamaican buddy who grows callaloo in his back yard. I helped him cut some and he gave me a big bag of it. Man I love callaloo, I could eat it for every meal

 

[GhostVol]

How about the Jamaican beef patties? My lady friend's grandkids love mine, but for obvious reasons I have a light hand with the curry. Same with the jerk meats. We're going to Jamaica in 2017 and she's going to get jerk goat from a roadside shack (but I won't tell her until we finish eating it!)

 

[wildcatdonf]

The friend of mine that cooked my delicious meal told me that he cooked that Ox Tail about 3.5 hours. And yes, he cooked it low and slow. He can cook.

dayyyum, smh. Sure wish I could eat that

We have had jerk chicken a few times. It is too good.

[GhostVol]

Are y'all really serious about ingesting the actual tail of an ox? I don't cull much, but I'd have to be pretty danged hungry to eat some hairy, thick-skinned fly-swatter.

Remember that old song "A Country Boy Can Survive"? Yeah, I'm still country. You skin the tail, chop it up in 3-4 inch sections (or just buy it at the grocery), marinate it overnight, then braise it, then simmer like Don's friend did (3-4) hours. Mine only end up fair since I can never get the hang of properly braising the ox tail before letting it simmer.

Bingo.

haha, Mav thinking of road kill raccoon off the road kinda tail.

Ain't no way I'm jerkin' a damned goat just to get a burger either.

On our last cruise, my companions got conch burgers in the Bahamas. Never had conch before. Now they can't wait until the next time!

Love me some jerk chicken and conch burgers. Used to be a good Jamaican joint over on Frankfort Ave. in Metro called Utopia or something like that. Loved that little joint. It closed a long time ago though.

I'm eating PB&J. I'm on my cell phone.

Had fresh conch in grand bahamas last June. I could easily tear it up all day.

Blu's recent return to the D right on the heels of my trip to Mouse-land got me to thinking about something. Blu is the Wendy of the D keeping us in check and the rest of us jackals are the Neverland Lost Boys who refuse to grow up.

You ever see them harvest the meat out of a conch shell? Amazing to watch.

Had you penciled in as Tinker Bell.

Yeah, it's truly awesome to see that. There was a guy behind the food shack, getting them. At least that what it looked like

 

[Kaizer Sosay]

That place sounds like it was paradise.

I harvested some fresh conch near Sharm El Sheik a couple times back in '82. Awesome shit. My First Sergeant, who was native Japanese, taught us the ins and outs.

Waiting on the Greyhound bus. Austin hosts a nice terminal.

The one on the top row of the linky you posted -- the Infinity with the commercial grade conical burr. I'm salivating as I type.

Perfect.

You're ready young grasshopper. When you're sick of aeropressing-

If I didn't McGuyver my Proline last weekend, this thing was on deck. Even though I could've talked the missus into allowing me to get the Wilfa or the Chemex Ottomatic.

 

[Kooky Kats]

Sounds like the lyrics to every Luke Bryan song.

FIFY

 

[wildcatdonf]

Haha, yep -- I honestly didn't realize that oxen had tails with enough meat on them to eat. Hell, I'd try it then (but not the side that lies next to the ox butt).

That's the best part.

The Lost Boys was the nickname of a group of dudes in my architectural studios at UK. So, 25 years later, I'm being grouped under this name again. Feels good.

 

[wildcatdonf]

My friend, John, bought this Ox Tail at The Municipal Market in downtown Atlanta. It was cut about 1.5 inches thick. Low and slow.

I don't pick on anyone...just waiting on the right douchebag to push me over the edge.

I always spy the width of a guy's knuckles. If it's a dude who you can see some wear and tear (or scars) on hands...stay away.

My oldest brother was a boxer (fought in GoldenGloves). He used to put the headgear on me and spar. When he tagged me a couple times, I'd go bananas and I'd load up some bombs that connected.

If you can throw a ball over 70mph, you can punch.

 

[Kooky Kats]

I loved Jamaica. Honeymooned there.

The weird thing is, amongst many, is seeing the amount of Irish and Chinese immigrants there. When you see many Asian guys or Gingers talking with that accent- it blurs everythin.

Pickapeppa sauce FTW.
