I tried this dish for the first time at Michael Symon’s restaurant Roast recently and I don’t recall the price being too outrageous. I did quite enjoy it but found that a little goes a long way since it is so rich! The parsley is definitely a welcome counterpoint.

Reading this post and replys I feed like I found my REAL family! Usually when I tell people about recipes like this and JUST HOW MUCH I enjoy them and how my eyes get this magic shinyness when I eat something that fantastic …. they think I must be crazy. Thanks for showing me again that I am not the only fat-loving-weirdo on earth (and by fat I mean the REAL stuff!)

I love marrow bones, and slathering all of that rich goodness onto a small piece of bread. Purely delightful!

One could record someone eating, slurping, sucking and enjoying bone marrow and the listener would think they were eavesdropping on a sexual act. They would be close!

Ok was easily won over on this one as it one of my favourites…..I should really try making it at home, you make it sound really rather straightforward.

Hola chicos! I always give this “parts” a chance and when I was a kid my mom used to cook for us little lamb brains (coated in flour and fried) I remember they were delicious! But since the Crazy cows disease (I’m unable to write the proper name), I don’t use marrow and brains in my kitchen… a pity… or not!

Love this post, especially the first paragraph (so true!). Bone marrow is definitely one of life’s greatest pleasures. My (selfish) fear is that one of these days it will become mainstream and the price will go up considerably. Look what happened to monkfish, skirt steaks, pork belly, etc.

It looks like succulent slippery goodness. I’ve never eaten, but will have to, without a doubt, soon.
