History
Coda alla vaccinara was originally the specialty of the vaccinari ('butchers') of the Rione Regola in Rome, to the point that the inhabitants of that rione were nicknamed in Romanesco dialect magnacode ('tail-eaters'). It is often found in the trattorie of Testaccio and Trastevere.[5][6]
Popular culture
Coda is the favourite dish of the protagonist Giacinto Mazzatella (Nino Manfredi) in Down and Dirty. He expresses his appreciation of the dish with the words "Oxtail and celery are like man and woman. It's all well when one sticks to the other."[7]
