My favourite is Ox Tail soup....
Ox Tail simmered with shredded cabbage, carrots, onions, diced potato, maybe a bit of rutabaga and pot barley. I make a big batch and can it.
A funny story about Ox Tail...I went to my regular Saturday farmers market and asked the butcher for ox tail. It was really busy and really loud, so we were just about shouting to each other. I asked the price and he told me, I was surprised and shouted back..."That's a lot of money for a piece of tail, isn't it?", just as it suddenly got really quiet for a moment. The butcher looked at me with a straight face and said, "I wouldn't know, ma'am." and a bunch of people in the crowd burst out laughing.
I've discovered pressure canning and now always have French Onion, Chicken Noodle (without the noodle, yet) and Ox Tail soup on my shelf along with beef stew and chili, sloppy joe and spaghetti sauce etc. Makes meal prep so easy!
