“This sounds like a good idea, especially considering that China or another country will get there eventually and then all bets are off.”
If the Chinese ever make it to Mars they will eat everything that crawls, those people will eat anything; centipedes, ox tails, bird nests, chicken feet.... China is a great civilization that has gone through some really horrible times and they learned to eat some crazy stuff to avoid starvation.
“ox tails”
Perfectly slow cooked ox tail does not belong even near that list. Better than all but the finest steaks IMO.
Most oxtail is indeed bunk though. There is only a 15 minute window when it is perfect. If you dont time it right, you get rocks or slop
Chicken feet are awesome if the chef is good!
