Yes sir. We have discussed this many times. What I have to ask is who
are these masses who discovered them? I know that chicken wings are a
very popular bar and restaurant item around here. It is the shirt ribs
and ox tails that I have to wonder about. I rarely see them on a menu.
As much as I love both short ribs and ox tails, I am not going to spend
that much on a cut of meat that takes so much preparation, so much time
and the addition of other ingredients when I can buy a steak for less
and cook it in minutes with minimal work.
