Bill asks:

: : Huggy? Would you like to explain this delicacy to her?

: : Billygnome

: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Huggy Replies:
: OK.....not that I have ever had this....it is quite an old English dish not eaten much anymore. Basically, beef bones are cooked either by roasting, or boiling in soup/stew, and then they are hacked open, and the marrow inside the bone is removed and spread on toast. Thats it!

And MMMM adds:

I KNEW I didn't like the sound of THAT! And you actually EAT this, eh, Bill? It's amazing what some people will put in their mouths! Urk!!!

Huggy also says:
I think that it isn't common in the US to eat anything other than the obvious cuts of meat, but here in England, we are a little less wasteful.....and of course, if you go to Scotland.....they don't waste a damn thing! Just check the recipe for haggis! Personally speaking, I have limits as to what I can eat.....don't get me started on tripe....ewwwwww!

And MMMM replies:

I, too, have rules about what I eat:

1. It must come from an animal with LEGS (fur, feathers, & scales are optional. Tentacles are NOT!)

2. It must NOT be anything which performs any bodily function beyond that of moving the critter's limbs around. No organs, thenkyewveddymudge. (Yes, this rules out brains, tongues, kidneys, livers, intestines, stomachs, bladders, eyeballs & nostrils!)

3. It should definitely smell wonderful while cooking. (Yes, this rules out brains, tongues, KIDNEYS, LIVERS, intestines, stomachs, bladders, eyeballs & nostrils!)

4. My food should not be LOOKING back at me when I go to stab it with my fork. (No entire roasted hogs, whole rainbow trout, or anything served with the face still on!)

5. There will be ABSOLUTELY NO DISCUSSION regarding what eggs really are whilst I'm scrambling them!!!

6. If I find myself stranded in a vast forest with absolutely no provisions at ALL, I will display complete disregard for rules 1 through 5...EVENTUALLY.

7. Even in case of the above, I will NEVER, EVER eat marrow toast!

I think I'm done now.

MMMM
