Food gentrification.

I remember when people would look at some for eating ox tail like

Grits been gentrified too.

There are 5 star restaurants selling shrimp and grits for 30 dollars a plate. shyt you could literally make at home in 5 minutes for 5 dollars.

My favorite meal ever might be Oxtail with rice and peas, and cabbage with a side of cocoa bread from a hood Jamaican spot served by a woman with a bad attitude

Lmao this is exactly like the place I go to. During covid I had the oxtail plate, large, almost everyday. Gained way too much weight.

Except when your order of oxtails or curry coat is 80% bones and gravy

One spot is charging TWENTY FIVE for a large around me.

Can you read that?

TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS.

And that's American money



Over here the Curry goat has passed the oxtail price. 18 bucks for a goat

There's no point in getting oxtails if short ribs are on the menu. Similar taste without the bones. Oxtails are highway robbery based on the amount of meat you get

If you’ve never had them you might want
to cop some from your local Jamaican spot before you try to make them on your own.

good point. will do that

 

[MikelArteta]

only jamaicans can cook oxtail

[Spliff]

Hipsters, gentrification, and the current rise in ketogenic/carnivore popularity shot the price way up smh

 

[Diondon]

Chitlins and other staples of the diet on the plantations were what were to be discarded
