- Back in the day, oxtail was specifically the tail of an ox. Today, it can be the tail of any cattle. What used to be considered a throwaway cut of meat is now one of the most expensive, ranging from $4 to $10 per pound. Chef and food blogger Leigh-Ann Martin introduces producer Doyinsola Oladipo to Jamaican Oxtail for the first time at Island Spice Grill food truck in NYC.

Why Oxtail Is A Jamaican Delicacy
Just like lobster was prison food now its one of the most expenive food in the world 💀😴😂 Smh America boul
Those prisoners had it sooo good back then.
@@RockstarEater Thats AMERICA for u
lobster is not expensive unless you live in America or white Europe...
and some parts of Asia...
even then a lot of my friends dive for their owb Lobster which is FREE LMAO
I brought my wife to Jamaica for our first anniversary last year. She's Ukrainian and never had oxtail before. I was happy to show her a bit of my little country. Took her to a little take out spot in Montego for a plate of oxtail, rice and peas, and steam veggies. I never seen anyone put away some oxtail so fast in my life😂.
Praying for your family!
This video made me want to try oxtail so much!!
@@theonepieceguy9081 thank you. 💯
That was so sweet! Thank you for sharing us a wonderful moment.
Did she call u slurs during foreplay?
No Jamaican says rice and beans. Rice and peas all the way, cooked down in coconut milk. Nice foot 🤤
kam morris they had to use the Jamaican brand to get views.. why else would anyone even watch it😺
kam morris lol truuu
Exactly! They should’ve used a Jamaican instead to explain the flavors of the dish than the Trini lady cuz she’s not doing our food any justice. Kmt
No disrespect to Trini's, but they should rep Trinidad more. More than a few of them on UA-cam have "caribbean" cooking channels that focus on Jamaican "style" dishes.
AGREED!!!
Oxtail is also very popular amongst the African-Americans of the south.
Dam right!
yesssss
here in Chicago also
Right..
Yes, Afro African americans
Damn right. I didnt know anybody outside the United states eat oxtails too.
The irony of a once cheap throw away meat that is now more expensive than most beef cuts in a market. How on earth does this happen? 🤔
As chefs say, Let no parts of an animal go to waste!
Rockstar Eater I know right. Same thing happened with hanger/skirt steak. Crazy.
I think all the travel shows and celebrity chefs have led to more interest in ethnic foods.
High demand causes the cost and desire for oxtail.
@Grace City LA Try Han Bat Suhlung Tang in Koreatown. Korean oxtail bone soup.
@dipp bunn Might be. Its a mystery even to a foodie like me
I'm vegetarian but back when I was a meat eater this was my favorite dish, specially when I used to work at Macy's NYC and go to Golden Krust on 32nd st and 8th ave. Im Dominican and we make a good Oxtail dish but Jamaicans add the sweetness and the attention to tenderness is of primary importance. Sending love to all Jamaicans around the world. ❤️❤️❤️
ITS RICE AND PEAS NOT RICE AND BEANS🤦♂️
PRIS 😆🤣😆 I was thinking the same thing 😆
I thought I was the only one getting annoyed by the rice and bean lol 😂
Peas are basically beans though
@@iAteUrToast it's a technicality....fine... but in the Caribbean (especially Jamaica where it was popularized) it is called "Rice and Peas". Its like asking an Italian the difference between Ketchup and Marinara sauce.
@@iAteUrToast yes but if she's referring to Jamaican way and we call it rice and peas
She never had ox-tail?....Where is she from Nebraska?
Ik she so blocked from the world
Well someone from Trinidad might ask the same to a person who hasn't had doubles before? (aka me)
Lol she's Nigerian
What are you talking about I live in Nebraska and have had ox tail multiple times we aren’t that disconnected 😂
😭😭😭😭😭
In South Africa we love to make a Oxtail Potjie (oxtail stew made in a cast iron pot over fire). Tastes so good.
Andriette Keyser baie lekker
Same in Jamaica .. we use the “stew” or gravy as we call it on rice usually
@Gold & Diamond Mind Gold & Diamond Mind These are white South "Africans".
If someone cook oxtail for you that means they really luv you
💯💯💯

A tale of Oxtails! Seriously though, I grew up in South Africa and I did have and enjoyed Oxtail and these look amazing!
I know, in Brazil we also like to eat a lot of oxtails.
@@PennyMsElite It's a diaspora ting!
Filipinos eat oxtail too most commonly in a dish called Kare Kare which looks like peanut butter soup. It has oxtail, tripe, pork meat, and various veggies in it. Don't be scared, it is absolutely delicious and is my favorite dish to eat as a child. ❤💕
@@204lulu Don't worry I'm not scared that sounds great! In fact I'm going to add that to my to-do list of dishes I want to try and make.
I see u everywhere on food channels. U sure are a foodie
I'm Costa rican we eat a lot of oxtail too. It's one of my favorite dishes!
Koreans make an oxtail stew that's very delicious also.
Big up to all my Caribbean people! I’m Jamaican and I’ve been to other Caribbean countries and learned so much that I now know to make some of their dishes along side my staple Jamaican dishes! Big up to the Trini sista on being so well informed on oxtail. One Love ❤️
As a Nigerian there is something special about ox tail, we call it Cow tail and it has been our delicacy since i was born. Try it with tomato stew or Egusi Soup
Someone thinks all Caribbean’s are jamaican

In the south instead of rice and peas. It’s peas, carrots, corn and potatoes with good chucks of oxtail meat and gravy.
Yes! My parents made the best oxtail stew!I tried to duplicate but mines comes out soupy.
@@glynismorris2196 The trick to not overcook it and have too much sauce (gravy, in Jamaica) is put a good amount of water at the beginning of cooking and then put smaller and smaller amount as the meal becomes tender.
Oh yes ma’am!!!
We do cabbage, yellow rice, carrots and sometimes potatoes. Super good man. Got 3 packs sitting in the freezer rn
I hate when a cut of meat goes trendy and balloons in price.
Pressure cookers can do a nice job on those oxtails, too.
Curry goat and oxtail peas and rice? 🎯👍🙏 Lawd god
In Jamaica curry is normally served with white rice

It’s just like Martin Yan. My buddy met him once, and he had NO ACCENT. He told my friend he just does that for show, and that’s what people would expect. LOL!
Ox tail was so cheap but everyone wants to eat them now
Same with cow tongue I remember buying one for under 5 dollars now close to 20.00
@@LOVE-JC777 I'm telling you, now a pack of oxtail cost so much. The quality has went down on then too.

Love love oxtails.....I am a 72 year old American from Kansas...growing up we had oxtails at least 2 month. It was a staple in African American homes
Beverley Steele that’s a fact
Saying 'Oxtails' instead of 'oxtail' is really irritable
@Gordon Payne
lol at talking white,your an idiot.
Stfu
Yess 🇯🇲 my family’s Jamaican and my parents make it. It’s my favorite Jamaican dish then my little sister likes Curry chicken and my older sister likes Stew-peas and my older brother patty🇯🇲🥵
If your family is jamaican the you are jamaican.. own it!
Aaron Levy bruh I be telling evryoneee that I’m Jamaican I’m super proud when it comes to Jamaica🇯🇲
Stew peas is my crack 😍😂❤
@@bossmanbossy it doesn’t work like that.
@@Lifestylewithjada does it not, how does it work then?
This got my mouth watering! My mum is from JA and I tell you she would rarely cook oxtail so to eat it was like a luxury meal for me as a kid! Nowadays I wouldn’t even attempt to cook oxtail without using a pressure cooker!
If it’s about Jamaican oxtail should have used a Jamaican chef
They're highlighting a Jamaican food truck but you know all the islands enjoy oxtail.
Dont got to be Jamaican to make, Jamaican food
FORREAL
@Miss Dor's daughter can you list all the ingredients that goes into an authenthtic oxtail dish? And enlighten us?
@Miss Dor's daughter but what's really authentic? Everyone has their own variations...
That Jamaican way of cooking Oxtail wow delicious give me more Oxtail the Jamaican way .
I have been salivating over island spice grills’s instagram. I am glad they are getting the recognition they deserve!
So interesting and delicious. Oxtail and hooves are extremely popular in the south of Pakistan too, specially Karachi. Both dishes are also slow cooked, just with some different spices and usually eaten with some kind of tandoori naan.
Ox tail is my favorite Caribbean food. I eat it all the time when I’m in Toronto. My girlfriend is from is Guyana so if I never met her I probably would’ve never eaten it .
Love me some Jamaican oxtail! Got tired of paying $20 a plate so I buy $20 worth of tails cook them myself and eat of them for days.
I love oxtails. I'm Jamaican 😚
I will be making oxtail for the first time for my daughter's boyfriend whose parents are Jamaican. Wish me luck!!!!
Eww no don’t do it or you’ll get stomach acid from a venom inside of it.
i’m from Jamaica and it’s not rlly a delicacy it’s like America’s pizza
Also here in Brazil.
what are you talking about? oxtail is the most expensive dish to prepare in jamaica
Robert R maybe you went to the paradise resorts or something and it was expensive for you but not for most people also i didn’t mean that it was as affordable as pizza i meant it as it’s not a delicacy it’s about as common as pizza
Facts I literally just asked my parents for oxtail next time for dinner 🇯🇲🤪
Oxtail is like Sunday dinner gold
what you talking bout?
I see a lot of foods that ppl credit for different reasons to different peoples. Here in Bulgaria, we eat everything long before America was even discovered. Small intestines, lamb head, and tail including eyes and brain. Tripe, tongue,feet, chicken heads and feet. Livers, lungs, kidneys. EVERYTHING. My grandfather peeled the pork feet nails and eat them.
They are very popular in the southern American states too. In fact poor folks all over the world know how to cook them. Now they are being served in high end restaurants and that is what is driving up the cost. Anyway I love them made all kinds of ways they are truly delicious.
Love oxtail, went to vacation in Jamaica many times for oxtail, jerk chicken and curry goat. Some of my favourite foods of all time.
I live in the south (texas) and i love me some oxtails and comfort/soul food. Its a delicacy because they’re high asf in the store or at the butchers💀
I'm a Jamaican who misses that. I don't cook it so much out here in Europe. But, I really enjoy the dish. Growing in America,this was a Sunday dish we always devoured. I know that sounds morbid. But, it's true along with them rice and peas.
Filipinos love oxtail too! We have a dish with oxtail and PEANUT BUTTER. I made a UA-cam video showing how to cook that dish using an instant pot.
kare-kare!
Nice also jamaicans love adobo hahahahha one love

"I can't make it, but I eat it."

The Caribbean have some real great dishes. Jamaica, Trinidad, Barbados etc. Some great food coming out the Caribbean
Those two countries you’ve mentioned behind Jamaica , hate Jamaica and it’s people.
Korean also eat oxtail for soup. Who doesn't like that? I'd make a good pot roast out of that.
N chiness too
You Asians eat anything that moves
Pablo Ramos someones mad that their family cant cross a border😡

For those that hasnt tried OX tail is missing out in life..!
Oxtail is a southern classic.
Dam right! I grew up in Little Rock Arkansas and my parents always cooked oxtails.
right. last time I check wasn't that many Cattle in Jamacia. America has been on OxTail.
@@ClarenceCM3 oxtail is a slave cuisine so anywhere that had slave's had oxtail. This whole "we had it first" is annoying
@@ClarenceCM3 There are many cows in Jamaica, who told you that? Jamaicans have been cooking it on the island since the 1500s
@@razatiger22 I honestly think tht person has never been to Jamaica. There are so many cows in Jamaica tht in some communities they roam the streets and mess ppls yards up.

At least Jamaica getting some props 😗 proud to be a Jamaican
This dish is universal. Try Dominican oxtail.... it’s amazing.
I was about to write that 😂
The Most Dope: Great minds think alike 😂
Really...🤚🤚🤚
No it’s not 😂
Had it.. it's not amazing to me..
I had my 1st dish of oxetail n it was such a delicacy! It was cooked in a gravy w/peppers, green olives, onions & a red broth! I legit every bit down to the bone! I make Ossa Buca w/lamb shank round bone in the middle & it reminded of that. But, the oxetail was more rich & fatty! So much amazing flavor & it just falls off the bone! I had steamed yuca w/a garlic sauce & cooked onions as a side, steamed veggies & side salad, as I’m on the Keto diet! It was prepared to order in a Cuban Restaurant that is absolutely fantastic! Everything u order there is piping hot & outstanding! It’s called, “Don Carlins” in Sunrise, FL! 5 star ⭐️ Restaurant! Highly recommend if u r ever in Broward County, FL! Yummy 😋! ❤❤
No one wanted Skirt Steak either, now it's $8-$20 Depending Where it's from, Organic or prized Cows 🙁
Oxtail is the Bomb, We eat it in Puerto Rico Also.
I’ve lived almost all my life in pr and never seen anyone eat ox tail
If oxtail cook right...I would rather prefer that than ribeye!
Hundreds
I don't know how any black person could live in NYC and not have Oxtail, I mean "Come On"
@Frederick Dorsey even if that's true, jamaicans are not african american so your point isnt relevant.
lime light Jamaicans don’t act stuck up around African Americans tho
@@waynewilliamsxpertsplashman i agree but that has nothing to do with my response 🤔
Ive been blessed with eating homemade oxtail stew once...it was slow cooked and the bone super tender, so many flavors...amazing
All the islands make this. I'm Haitian and we make it too. Jamaicans, Trini, Bahamian etc all have a different twist on it.
And Dominican tbh with u alot of the Caribbean
Ox tail is eaten in Asia too, very delicious, especially Korean food.
I've been on a Jamaican food UA-cam binge lately and I gotta say:
Good god...
I need to wife me a Jamaican woman like, yesterday.
About 8 years ago my mom was coming from visiting her relatives abroad. I was making oxtail to surprise her. I've cooked it in the past but because of how expensive it costs, we only have it on a special occasion. Anywho, it was near perfect, just needed the gravy to reduce a little. I sat down in the couch and fell asleep. Smh. It burnt. Mannnnnnnn! Up to now I haven't cooked it again because of how much it hurt. It burnt so bad I had to throw away the pressure cooker. My mom has passed away two years ago but there was a spot that we would buy cooked oxtail and rice and peas from.
Really my Dad used to own a eatery almost made ox tails..it's also very Southern
Love that truck oh yes NYC
We don’t do it ever week but. My Mom’s best friend is black. She’s my second mother. Oxtails aren’t an every day thing but. Today. I bought the whole tail and brought to my Mom’s friend. Her name is Valerie. The whole tail was just over 3 pounds. But guess what? She’s gonna make rice and veggies and feed 7 people. ❤️
African Americans love them too
I love my Ox tail with potatoes, tomatoes and pumpkin tips cooked in coconut milk mmm.
4:15 i love her little Africa earrings LOL
When we came from Jamaica as kids in the seventies oxtails, fish heads, and chicken feet were thrown away by butchers it’s the West Indian community that made the butchers start selling it my uncle used to get fish heads for free from the fish markets until the shop owners realized that it was in high demand in our culture then they started selling it
It’s amazing! The best part of the beef. Period!
For the record! Jamaicans are NOT the only nationality that loves and cook oxtails. The entire Caribbean eat and LOVES oxtail and have their own style of cooking it.
@ Fivestargen: How cute. Typical and so predictable of you to say. I’ll just leave as that.
I’m tired of hearing oxtails. It’s oxtail!
No Ox has two tails.
When they cut them up, they use more than one tail, so that makes it oxtails.
I enjoy yummy 😋 oxtail.
@RainUponMe , I agree, it's oxtail. Saying oxtails is like saying beefs. No one says they like beefs.
Stor Bokki - must be a cultural thing, because Black people call them oxtails, so get over it already.

Can't tell when last I see oxtail cook in my house...it's gotten that expensive. Used to have it at least once a week during my childhood. Nowadays it's other meat alternate to oxtail like cow tail and turkey neck which are cheaper.

In the Philippines, the meat used in “kare-kare” is oxtail, aside from tripe.
Alot of jamaicans who live in jamaica actually do not like or go crazy over oxtail. I am one of those jamaicans.carry on now.
Because that's what you're accustomed to. America has absolutely no culture, so the slightest thing America get to experience from culturally-rich countries, America tends to go crazy over it....And then they steal it and charge premium prices for it.

Not just a Jamaican delicacy, but the entire Caribbean!! I’m trini and love ox tail with bus up shut!
Me love oxtail my yout 🙏🐂🔥 Bless up
I no longer eat red meat but back in the day, WOI! Some oxtail stew after you marinate it overnight in "green seasoning" (thymes, chives, garlic, chadon beni, pimentos, lime juice, salt, scotch bonnet pepper), then you do a brown sugar stew, cook it long and slow in a heavy cast-iron pot until it falling off the bone and the sauce is rich, thick and glossy and serve with coconut dumplings, plantains and callaloo.
Can we just take a second to stop & appreciate the beauty of the lady in the black shirt & blonde hair. She’s really pretty.
Nah...i click this vid to watch oxtail not that woman -_-
