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!
