The first time I tasted oxtail was in the Nestor, 1960. I thought it was an unpleasant meal, scant meat but plenty of bone, served with carrots and mashed potato. We got it every week on a fjve month voyage to Oz. Apart from a couple of gannets, the crowd always dumped it in the gash bucket and headed for the toaster. We nicknamed the cook Oxtaill Ollie, he was an Oliver Hardy lookalike and we suspected him of scoffing all the good stuff himself and serving us with the rubbish.
