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!.

3 lbs!. Cow's feet( chopped and cleaned)
1 can!. Jamaican Butter Bean
1 sprig Thyme
? tsp!. Salt
? tsp!. Black Pepper
3 stlk!. Scallions

Do not remove the pot from the stove as yet!. Let the pot cool down a little bit, wait five minutes!. You do not want to remove the cover from pot while it’s hot, you can hurt yourself if you do this!.
Put the pot under the pipe in the sink and let some water run onto the pot to further cool it down!.

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!.
