re: do you or anyone you know eat bone marrow?

Gotta try you some marrow. My kids thought I was crazy for eating it. Now they request it.

I've actually known a few people who have talked about eating bone marrow before; they all seemed to like it. My grandmother used to ask me to shop for certain types of bones just for their marrow, but I can't remember what kind they were.

Here's one that's weirder to me--anyone else know someone who eats bones? I know a guy who actually chews up pork chop bones (he might eat chicken bones too). I'm not talking about just the marrow or gnawing on the bones until all the meat is gone--he really likes eating the bones.

I wouldn't say a lot of places up here have marrow on the menu, but this place came to mind...

I've had it a couple times there. It's rich and fatty like foie gras. You scoop out a little, put it on some toast with some sort of tangy jelly (onion marmalade in this case). It's really good, but rich. You'd only want it as a small portion.

Dairy Queen doesn't serve it.

But none of the fat is saturated fat. Good source of iron and calcium. Love marrow. If you're going to eat meat you should be prepared to ea the "nasty" bits. The animal gave its life to feed you. Don't waste.

Soup bones.

I thought everybody ate that

So much flavor. I always boil the marrow out of my soup bones to make my stock.
And yes, I have cracked bones to suck out the marrow
