It's a bit of a joke: "Honey, we can afford to buy the good parts of the cow now" Granted, using the tail of the ox makes a great flavored broth, but there are FAR better tails to be chewing. So cook the tail all night, then in the morning add some chunky stew meat, and we can all just get along and get some tequila

no doubt!
