I tried straight up bone marrow for the first time a few weeks ago. I was led to believe it was this delicious, juicy, meaty nectar that tasted absolutely divine.... Instead I discover its really just hot jelly that kinda tastes like wood and not much else. Thoroughly disappointed.
After boiling the bones for a broth, my mom would usually put the bone marrow in the oven for a bit and then use it (with salt, pepper, butter, and garlic) as a spread on baked bread. Good times.
It's one of my all-time favorite foods, but this looks raw, which is…not nearly as nice, it's just too fatty. Cold marrow is unplesantly greasy; it has to be warm enough to melt the fat and then it's one of the nectars of the gods. Put it on some really good toasted bread to sop up all the liquefied fat and pair it with an ice-cold Martini…not much better in life.
There's a Filipino soup dish called bulalo that uses bone marrow, and it's absolutely delicious, especially on a rainy day. It takes some practice to cook it in a way that doesn't completely dissolve the bone marrow (basically, don't let it boil too strongly), but it's a very easy recipe.
My uncles would eat with fun and I'd have my separate dish with nuggets and coke. I'd vomit by the thought of it. I guess that's why I'm lacking vit D?
Is it all coagulated white blood cells and fibrin? Kind of cool that sometime along the evolutionary tree, we needed a place to make a random important thing in our bodies and this coincidentally hollow network inside structures unrelated to that task became the spot
If you treat it like super fatty butter it's really nice. Spread a BIT on toast and omg. Drop a BIT in your pan while finishing off your steak and omg. Throw some at a teenager trying to freestyle rap over Eminem? OMG! So good!
cut lengthwise toss some herbs and put under a brolier. Slightly reduction of the liquid and creates beautiful paste to scoop out with toast points. so good
It does look pretty bad and eating it by itself is kinda gross. But the soft texture makes it spread like butter so it's great on a piece of toasted bread.
The texture is DIVINE, imo, but I can see why it can be a bit much. But to me, the best part about a good ossobuco is the part where you take the marrow out of the bone, plop it on a piece of warm toast, put some coarse salt on it.... I'm in heaven!
Take the marrow now, hit it with some flame for a taste upgrade. Slap that bad lad on some toast with a handful of garlic, salt, black pepper and green onions. Probably have either a German wheat or a Chinese pilsner with it.
Standard draught beer in Prague is just so much better than beer in Germany. Sorry, Krauts, I love your beer and your cooking, but Czech beer has the edge.
Exactly. But the crème de la crème is standing at the very end of the production line in the Budweiser factory in Ceske Budejovice and have one in the cooling room right from the huge tanks. Awesome.
Chinese pilsner because I like Yuengling, which I've just learned is a light lager. And I can absolutely picture this as the result of doing a beef hot pot and having a few crab rangoons with it.

Smashing bones to access the narrow is one of the ways that humans were able to fuel their massive brains. Eating marrow is how we got smart.

I’ll have me some of that bone marrow, please tyvm

Bone butter! It's great spread on toast, or just eaten by the mouthful.
My damn mouth is watering looking at this, because I know how freaking amazing it tastes.

I hate it, you get much better results turning it into broth and making way better food.

It tastes fine, but the texture is nightmarish. Good if it's cooked down into a broth!
Predacane35
Ever suck so hard on a bone, that the marrow hits the back of your throat and sinus? No? I guess you're not trying hard enough.

You don't typically just eat it... you usually put it on something.

yeah i cant do textures like this, i got queasy just watching this

stick it on toast it’s lovely. smashing bones at the table is a bit uncouth tbh

Yeah, always just cut ours in the kitchen... It's a weird thing to do at the table (to be fair most "at the table" things are these days).

Take the marrow now, hit it with some flame for a taste upgrade. Slap that bad lad on some toast with a handful of garlic, salt, black pepper and green onions.
Probably have either a German wheat or a Chinese pilsner with it.

Or just on a delicious steak 🤤

A proper Czech pilsner is not good enough now and the replacement is chinese?!

Standard draught beer in Prague is just so much better than beer in Germany.
Sorry, Krauts, I love your beer and your cooking, but Czech beer has the edge.
Sortros
Well their standard are probably different kinds of beer. Pilsner is Czech while kellerbier or weissbier is German.

Exactly. But the crème de la crème is standing at the very end of the production line in the Budweiser factory in Ceske Budejovice and have one in the cooling room right from the huge tanks. Awesome.

Chinese pilsner because I like Yuengling, which I've just learned is a light lager. And I can absolutely picture this as the result of doing a beef hot pot and having a few crab rangoons with it.
