📖 Get all 356 of Grandma's secrets here: https://earlenetatum.com There is a black pot sitting on the coals in my yard right now. What is in it cost me twenty five dollars. Fill that same pot with oxtails and it is fifty, and mine has more meat in it. The tail was never the problem, and neither was your cooking. You paid by the pound and most of that pound was bone. Last week I told you there were seven pieces in that meat case that do what a tail does. I cooked all seven, and one of them beat the tail outright. Half the money, more meat and a better gravy. Most people walk right past it because they think it is soup meat and it cooks up tough. It does, if you cook it the way they do. In this one I show you which slice to ask for and how thick, why this bone makes a better pot than any tail, the one thing people do to it that ruins it every time, what it gets the night before and how to keep it from curling up in your pot, how to build the coals and how long that pot sits. And Big Mama did one thing at the very end that I have never seen written anywhere. It thickens that whole pot without one speck of flour. I saved it for the end. Twenty five dollars of beef, a black pot and a quiet fire feeds the table better than fifty dollars of tails.
