Do you ever eat beef tail?

i dont know what it is.

see i told all of you. anon.

No option for just plain 'no'? I think we all know how the results here will look.

I have done in the past, in soup. But I supppose I never will again.

yes, i tried, no one would listen...romkey insisted. so i changed my vote to reasonable for HIM ONLY. big

I wished there was a plain 'no' answer like we asked and asked and asked for in qualification, so I wouldn't have to answer 'other'.

Nope. I don't even know what animal beef comes from.

don't tell lies. I complained that you were subverting the qualification process by voting hopelessly flawed to clear out surveys that only needed work.

I've never tried it, but I don't know that I never would.

tell what lies? i was doing no such thing. again, what are the lies? i changed my vote on this survey so you all could see i was telling the TRUTH.

so what are you talking about?

that was the second time around for the same survey with no changes made despite all the requests.

it takes 5 HF votes, not one.

again, what the hell are you talking about?

He hardly insisted.

insisted WHAT?

oh, i see i think

he insisted the survey was fine. is that what you mean?

he didnt insist i change my vote. is that what you mean?

please be a little more direct, all... thanks

so anyway, i have proved my point well enough i think. as it turns out, I WAS RIGHT. also as it turns out, its not a very good survey. check the stats.

Not that I know of. It sounds very gross, and I don't want to try it. I have seen oxtail soup in stores, but I refuse to try it.

Beef comes from cows.

He didn't insist that you change your vote.

I NEVER SAID HE DID

please stay out of this if you arent going to read it right. wasnt speaking to you was talking to romkey in the first place.

will talk to romkey

Maybe if you used slightly better English, what you're trying to say would be clearer. There are infinite possible interpretations of what you said.

except i wasnt speaking to you as i have already stated. maybe if you minded your own business you would not be so confused. sorry, but you stuck your nose in between romkey and me.

like i said, i will talk to romkey...

When I was a kid, my mom used to make oxtail soup. It was alright, not one of my favourites, but nothing at all wrong with it either. The bone is sort of like cartilage and the meat around it isn't much different from stewing beef. I haven't had it for more than 20 years I'm sure, but I used to eat it fairly often before that.

Not having ever tasted pee, I can't draw a comparison there...

"romkey insisted". I complained about you voting hopelessly flawed on surveys that weren't hopelessly flawed. I never insisted that you vote reasonable. Anyone who cares can see for themselves under Advanced Stats.

I NEVER SAID YOU DID

what you insisted is that the survey was fine and you were appalled it was being held up.

so i changed my vote to reasonable...FOR YOU. so you would see that i was right and i was. i told you and everyone else all along. now what? wanna meet in chat?

you still havent answered my questions

ok, romkey i have to go. if i can come back later, i will. i would really like to speak to you, preferably in chat where we can actually converse with eachother. i think we can clear this up - you and I. maybe you could even give me a clue of when is a good time? if not, thats ok too. later.

Osso Boco! Delicious!

Other: no I haven't had it but I would try it. Strange that this answer was missing.

You weren't talking to anyone in particular. If you were, you should have used the reply function and you would have said "you" rather than "romkey"

So beef tail is cow's tail?

You said "romkey insisted. so i changed my vote to reasonable for HIM ONLY". Exact quote. And that's incorrect. I never insisted that you vote reasonable.

Why in the world are you yelling at Biggles for responding to a public comment in a public survey? Do you have any idea how high-strung and ridiculous your messages appear?

wow, all the arguing over beef tail (wtf is it?)

Vegan!

I too was unaware that beef tail could cause such an uprising.

Had oxtail soup (is this the same thing?) but not anymore. Not since BSE as its an extension of the spine.

If you want to eat beef, go ahead, but make sure it's British beef and definitely NOT French.

Um......va?

If your talking about Oxtail then yes. In Oxtail soup. I love Oxtail soup. Haven't had it for ages though - I must get some.

beef is fine.. But i'm going to stay clear of cheap cuts and definately anything to do with the spine.

ROMKEY: you obviously wont listen to reason. you are not going far enough back regarding the comments. you have to go all the way back to qual comments where you insisted not once but twice that the survey was fine and you didnt know why it was being held up. so in qual i said ok. i will change my vote to reasonable for romkey so the survey will pass. (since you were so sure the survey was good which as you can see DID turn out to be anonymous and isnt such a hot survey either.) just like i said.

actually my comment that obviously confused biggles was meant for joalis. i think anyone could see that.

i was no where near yelling at anyone. BUT if you dont mind people answering for you that is your business. i wasnt speaking to that person. they certainly can reply to anyone anytime thats their option. i asked nicely to stay out of it. i really just wanted to talk to YOU, romkey.

whatever, dude, i was right and you know it. who even cares anymore? i dont.

i hope this clears it up for you. if not well i dont know, cuz i am done with it. unless you want to actually converse with me in chat or something just forget it. this messaging back an forth this way is subjective and seemingly futile.

Spine is probably okay too in British beef. I wouldn't eat it myself even if I wasn't a vegetarian but it's probably okay.

Not that I know enough.

As I asked before, is beef tail the same as ox tail?

An ox is a castrated bull. They are primarily used for work; pulling carts, plows etc.. "Beef" is the name of the meat which comes from that animal; cows, bulls, oxen...Of course "veal" is only from the calf, the young animal.

I suspect that the term "oxtail" is used because it has a nice ring to it. I doubt that the animal is required to be castrated for that designation, or even male for that matter...

Okay, Survey Creator you made me go to the supermarket tonight and buy a can of Oxtail soup. I'm sure that wasn't your intention but I very much enjoyed it.

yep

wow you are really one high strung dog!

We must put a stop to it...boycott beef tail (where the fudge would i buy it anyways?)

Ox tail soup, yes.

Hmmmm I've had oxtail soup?

Grow up.

IC, thank you Master Zang.

Never heard of it. But I dunno it depends. Probably not.

I've never heard of it or seen it sold. But I would probably try it.

I don't know what that is does it taste like chicken

I've never tried it or even seen it at the supermarket. That doesn't mean I wouldn't give it a try.
