How many different types of meat have you eaten before? In reality, there are countless meat kinds that at times you don’t even realise what type you are eating.
This is what happened to some Twitter users after realising that oxtail is meat from an actual ox’s tail.
This comes after @NtandoSgudla tweeted earlier this month: “Kanti oxtail is an actual ox’s tail? (crying face emoji). The tweet quickly went viral with many commenting that they were also not aware until they saw @NtandoSgudla’s post.
