I went to a new grocery store (for me) the other day that is focused
on the Mexican segment of the population and they had huge ox tails at
a price that wouldn't require a new mortgage on the house. I don't

like ox tails and lamb shanks, but they do and they have for so long
that I can barely remember when those things were sold cheap.
