Stopped in at my favorite steak place and decided I just wanted an appy - and their roasted brussel sprouts which are delicious and cooked in bacon grease. I see bone marrow on the menu. Maybe I haven't been paying attention, but I've never seen that on a menu.. sorry for the blurry pic, but they delivered some femur roasted into a jelly. I scooped and ate off taro chips. It was SUPER rich and pretty delicious, but dang there was no way I could finish, it became way too much. My dogs loved the left overs. j4kfarbfjmmm.jpg

    I had to do it :) I can't bring myself to do organs yet but some marrow was worth trying. They typically spread it on toast which would be more appropriate if I ate toast. (and so no one has to bother asking, I'm 100% sure this was some cafo cow - in restaurant grass fed is rare)

    It is very rich and I can't eat huge amounts of it. I love it... if from a healthy animal. I've had bone marrow from grocery store beef that I couldn't eat at all. Strangely, I prefer my marrow raw. I can eat more and like the texture better. I guess from living with the Inuit I have some strange preferences. Now what little bone marrow I get has to go to my Eskimo dog. She is barely getting enough raw meat treats to keep her healthy and warm outside.

    This cracks me up. I've never seen food served that way before lol (Like, that IS served on a bone?)

    Well it was technically just the inside of the bone anyway

    In my mind I love bone marrow...in practice it usually ends up in my body by way of seeping into my homemade bone broth.

    I grew up in a home where the marrow in the beef marrow bones was always prized. Soup was made often, and always included these bones. My mother and I also enjoyed cracking chicken bones open to eat their marrow. I never knew that this was considered nutritious or a delicacy.
    I believe that my family ate this way because they grew up in war-torn Europe, and went through the depression.
