: 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! 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!

MARROW TOAST??????? Ye mean there's others in the world that enjoy this delicacy!!!! YAYYYY! I thought WE were the only ones, WE being those of Slovak/Eastern European descent who love this stuff. My mother used to call it by a Slovak slang word "spig..." And I thought we were the onliest ones...it's DELICIOUS...now if I could just find a good shop with marrow bones around here I'd be in heaven.
Somehow I now know all Karmic tracks somehow lead to Mohicanland,
