Answers:
Yes, Cow Foot is a cultural dish in the Islands and many other places!.

I just recently went to Jamaica for holiday!.

While there we went to a street fare, where all kinds of cultural dishes etc!. were displayed!. My companion who is more adventurous then I, decided to try as many as the dishes as he could!.

Well one of the dishes he tried out was Cow Foot stew!. At the time he tried it he didn’t know it was Cow Foot!. He found the dish very good, and that's when he inquired on what it was!.

At first he was just shocked that he was eating Cow Foot!. Then he was so surprised about how good the dish actually taste!. He finally talked me into giving it a shot!. I must tell you that it was indeed very good!. Don’t knock it until you try it!.

I attached a link so you may read a little about how this dish came about!. I myself had wondered what would poses someone to go cook Cow Foot!. I hope this answers your questions!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

it's true, but usually cooked for the broth that comes of it!. it is used as a thickner and flavoring agent for all kinds of soups and stews!.

'not really much on there to eat!. Now, pigs feet, that's something else and can be pickled and eaten!.

Cow Foot

Cow Foot

The idea of cooking the cow's feet is not one of the greatest feats achieved in the Jamaican culinary tradition by any means!. Even if I beg to differ on this subject, I still must conclude that my take on cooked cow's feet is very subjective and I stand corrected by any of my Jamaican compatriots who might challenge my notions!.

However strong or strange disdain you might have for cow foot, as we call it, I challenge you to try this fare!.!.!.And, you won’t be disappointed!. Yah Mon!

Well back in the old days, the 1600’s and 1700’s, you know during the plantation era, the upper classes would take the best parts of the cow when it's killed and leave the so called “fifth quarters”(head, feet, tail, internal organs, and skin) for the hired hands and slaves!.

Notwithstanding, the workers took the "fifth quarters" and made delicious delicacies that are still enjoyed today by many people in Jamaica, including the upper classes…no blame intended!. Easy Nuh Mon!

As a "fifth quarter" stew, cow foot was a kind of substitute for oxtail sometimes when oxtail was not available!. Why!? You should guess by now, the cow has but one tail and four feet!. You don’t have to do the math to see the advantage the foot has!.

Of course cow foot was the kind of stew you would cook mid- week, because the weekends were reserved for chicken or beef soup, and other foods too!.

I do hope you will like this recipe!.

Taste the stew 7 minutes after the seasonings are added!. Get a second opinion from someone about the taste of the stew at this point!. You could also some spinners to the stew at this point, it’s your choice!.
