Oxtail Soup
["2 pkg. oxtail (about 10 lb.)", "1 c. raw peanuts (optional, but better with than without)", "1 large ginger root (fresh, about 3 \"fingers\"), peeled and sliced", "3 bay leaves", "4 beef bouillon cubes (optional)", "2 dried chili peppers, crushed (optional)", "1/2 tsp. allspice", "1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce", "10 carrots", "5 potatoes", "1 bottle Scotch whiskey (mandatory!)", "salt to taste"]
["Trim excess fat from the oxtails (unless you love fat!) and place in a large pot.", "Fill with water to cover the oxtails and more. Add everything but the potatoes, carrots and whiskey to the pot.", "Bring to a boil, then simmer for 1 1/2 hours or more, until peanuts are tender the meat almost but not quite falls off the bone.", "If you can wait, cool and refrigerate overnight."]
