Oxtails originated in Jamaica

And I don’t think Jamaican food is soul food but outside of the deep south the soul food spots I see are a mash up of stuff. Modern soul food is more like this guys page



Before this he posted smothered pork chops. Every other post is ‘jerk’ something.

Or like this Jamaican restaurant that serves ‘ados’ mac n cheese next to Jamaican jerk chicken, stew chicken, etc . It’s a lot of overlap diaspora wars are silly and sad

so its a modern fusion spot? i dont think its trying to be a traditional soul soul food eatery

and im gonna need proof on the oxtails origin

This comment is jarring because I'm convinced you look exactly like your display pic

Come on brother man

I don't think that's true.

I won’t even try to ‘prove’ it bc I doubt anyone can, and any mainstream link will just get the but I can assure you how ‘we’ eat oxtail today, originated in Jamaica and/or West Indies .

Oddly enough I remember this article

Oxtail’s centurieslong roots in Black communities is a history worth protecting

As oxtail goes more mainstream, its price is rising. Experts wonder if that's a bad thing. Meanwhile, Black Twitter is trying to drive down the price with wild health claims.

Jamaican food is delicious food but it isn’t Soul food.

 

[Caca-faat]

I don't think that's true.

Nah the British has been eating Oxtails, they have oxtail soup from the 1600s or so. American Oxtails are different to Jamaican oxtail with the gap as large as any other iteration; Jamaicans aren’t going to eat the American version at all, it is not the same.
