Why has oxtail become so expensive?
In the US, oxtail was once considered a cheap and undesirable cut of beef. That's because it's mostly bone and fat, with only about 40% usable meat. But as it's become more popular in recent years, its price has jumped to $14 a pound. Now, oxtail's longtime fans are fighting to #MakeOxtailCheapAgain.
