"a scraped tongue"

Perhaps if you're a cat, I seem to do fine using twee forks.

I first had marrow in '98 in Hungry and ever since it's been my ace-in-the-hole for whats the weirdest thing you've ever eaten. So part of me is sad to hear it's a local thing now. But then again, $12 is much cheaper to relive that gastronomic experience than going to Europe again.

Thank Anthony Bourdain for some of its modern proliferation. He loves asking, "if you died tomorrow, what your last meal be today?" and this is actually his answer.

I've had marrow twice...and at two of the restaurants mentioned in your article. St. John's in London - tremendous. Cremant on my birthday last year (just before it closed) horrible and unedible.

I found a nice package of marrow bones at, of all places, my local QFC the other day so I'm going to experiment with roasting my own. I actually believe marrow is best shared...it's so rich that I can't eat more than two bones' worth myself. So I'll have a few foodie friends over and we'll go to town.

Available in Hispanic food sections of Fred Meyers: marrow pipe bones. Cheap.
Upright, dusted with garlic and pepper @ 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Please wait...
