At least chicken wing have meat on them and are easy to cook. I have
seen packages of four oxtail pieces where there wasn't more than a
couple forkfuls of meat in the the whole pack.

You're not finding the right kinds of oxtails. Too bad your Dutch
butcher isn't still around. Heh.

I do occasionally see meatier oxtails and on sale. I do miss the Dutch
butcher. I used to occasionally get good deals on oxtails from him. I
also miss his bacon. I was hoping that his son was going to open a
retail outlet for his new meat curing business.
