Cowfoot
Jamaican Restaurant in The Bronx Serving the Best Cowfoot!
Cow Foot
Though most people would never think of cooking a cow’s feet, they’re quite the delicacy in Jamaica. In fact, once you’ve had our cowfoot, you’ll wonder why you didn’t try it sooner. Our customer's here at Frank's Soup Bowl in The Bronx say it's the "best cowfoot in the world". Read on to learn how it became a staple in Jamaican cuisine or stop by 3580 Bronxwood Ave Bronx, NY 10469 to try it today!
In the 1600s and 1700s, during Jamaica’s plantation era, upper-class residents would take the most desirable parts of the animals being butchered. That left the “fifth quarter”, or the tail, skin, head, internal organs, and feet, to the slaves. These workers made the best of it, creating delicious dishes that are enjoyed by many in the islands, no matter which social class they’re from.
Sometimes, cowfoot is substituted for oxtail, simply because it’s available in greater supply. It’s cooked in much the same way, being stewed in a blend of thyme, scallions, salt, black pepper, and Scotch bonnet peppers. However, our cowfoot recipe is special because it also comes with butter beans, which give the dish a unique flavor. It’s usually served with rice, yams, bread, potatoes, and dumplings.
