Oxtail Stew

The other week I went for Oxtail Stew with some friends. This was served at a place called The Wagon Wheel: a real American western tavern here which seems really out of place. It was a Wednesday night and the place was packed with locals just drinking (and a few others eating the stew since it's only served on Wednesdays).
This stew is delicious. I remember my grandpa talking about oxtail stew before but I never really thought of it, especially that it would be so good. I was reading about it on the web and the ox tail used to be considered a bad cut of meat and it was only the very poor that would eat it. Recently though it's been recognized a premium cut and it's supposedly a very popular dish in Europe. It really is delicious and if you ever see it I'd recommend you try it.
