Bone Marrow

Guest2 · 21 Aug 2011 at 12:11

Who else loves bone marrow?

Were just preparing a sunday roast and I started eating the bone marrow out of the lamb bone (then picking it out with a chop stick)

I guess its good for you but probably high in fat

I just found this from another forum... must be good for us (better than microwave meals and fast foods anyway!)

Bone marrow by many accounts is the first animal protein that ancient humans ate routinely. Prior to developing sophisticated hunting methods, humans were scavengers that scavenged the bones of dead prey killed by other animals.

Even after humans became the premiere hunters of the planet, bone marrow and other offal were preferentially eaten. Skeletal muscle meat was eaten last.

We've come a long way, and not necessarily in a good way

I'd not eat it.

My wife looks at me with a disgusted expression when I suck the marrow out of the end of the lamb bone

Bone marrow's awesome. Most people would change their opinions if they actually tried it rather than just going all funny about it. Equally most people wouldn't eat heart, but it's quite an interesting flavour ...

Not eaten bone marrow on it's own, but I've done Osso Bucco before and the flavour of the resulting stew was delicious, shame it's hard to get Veal shins from most butchers.

Not had bone marrow before but pickled tripe looks absolutely vile.

Don't click if you're squeamish

Man eat inside of bone with smaller bone. Rargh!

I like the marrow in a stew. It's easy to get out with stewing lamb because it's in thin slices

I was pensive of the idea until i tried it in Hawksmoore, now all i want is more, MORE!

I always like picking it out of bones and munching.

My god. That looks sexual

Can you buy bones from butchers then just oven them on 100 for a few hours and eat? What are the best bones and does it taste as good if they are cracked open?
