Oxtail - love it or hate it?

And "potted dog" (potted meat).

The scraps were taken off the bone and chopped finely then re-seasoned and mixed with a bit of the fatty juices skimmed from the pot - oh, and a sprinkle of mace. The best sandwich spread ever!

oh that does sound yum Frank.... but to be honest I've never had oxtail left over when I've made it

Me neither.

I love Oxtail soup, not had oxtail proper before though.

When I was first married, one of our family members who worked at a local butchers, decided it would be a bit of a wheeze to place a real ox tail under the bottom sheet of our bed

Ewww that made me go all squeamish!!!!

more gelatinous than fatty.

Eeeek! That's put me right off

I've only had it once but really enjoyed it!

Both Tom and myself love Heinz Oxtail soup too

Loz, that means that it is thick and tasty. It's a bit like goulash without the paprika and chilli. Honestly, it is delish.

As for the 'potted dog'. We would use a fork to scrape the tail of those bits still stuck to it once it had gone cold...... they would be used for the potted meat (dog).
