I don't know about any trend.... not around here. I never see them on
menus anywhere. We never had them when I was a kid, but my mother in law
used to make them once in a while, and she taught my wife how to cook
them. It was love at first bite. I really enjoy ox tail stew, and I
came to enjoy them back in the early 1970s when we used to be able to
buy enough oxtails to make a huge stew that would be enough for a real
pig out followed up by a leftovers pig out for less about 30 cents.

How's the temperature? We have been setting record low temperatures for
weeks. ... below zero F. I realize it gets a lot colder than that in the
more northerly parts of Canada, but that is why I live in the south.
