Do other people besides me have a primal urge to suck the bone marrow out of a bone?

[DannyTN]

No, have you been checked for canine or lupine DNA?

Been bitten by any strange looking animals or people lately?

You cook lamb to 160°? Sacrilege!

FreeRepublic can be surprising, funny, and educational. All in the same thread.

Same here! They don’t know what they are missing.

Some people like the ears off of barbecued whole hogs. Heard they’re like pig jerky.

From your link, yardstick....

....There’s another reason – a big reason, actually – why animals of all stripes are drawn toward bone marrow and why you should head down to the butcher for some bones: the taste. A subtle, creamy nuttiness, sometimes a bit sweet, always extremely rich, is not to be casually disregarded. The taste is incredible, either eaten straight up with a touch of sea salt or as part of a rich, hearty stew. Its high quality fuel imbued with vitamins and minerals, but it’s delicious fuel that’d be worth eating even if it were devoid of nutrition.

Luckily for us, though (and counter to what we’re taught about nutrition), what appeals to our taste buds on a basic level usually also nourishes. Marrow may be a “sinful treat” for most, but it deserves to be a kitchen staple for Primal eaters.

It’s delicious! And it is also good for you

Been feasting on it when I could get any since I was old enough to eat.

When I was a boy my mother made her own beef broth with round bones. When the broth was done, she would remove the bones, spread the marrow onto slices of white bread, and sprinkle salt over the slices. It was so delicious my brother and I nearly fought over them.

Gross. My grandpa used to do that.

Two percent Homo Neanderthalensis influence? Strong instincts which favor a nutritional advantage?

I have some beef bones in the crockpot now, making broth. I got then at the Beef Palace in Huntington Beach this morning.

BTW, when I cook thick steaks I use the reverse sear. I slow cook them with indirect charcoal/hickory chips heat until they hit about 120 degrees, then sear them over the intense heat of the charcoal pile, flipping them like a human rotisserie, bringing them up to the desired temperature of their intended recipients. I never bring them up to 160, though. Medium rare is the "sweet spot" for steak, more tender than rare but still moist.

Dogs love pigs ears. Haven't seen a people eat one though.

[JohnnyP]

Are those lamb steaks gamy? My wife has a hard time with lamb.

[mylife]

You cooked them right except you forgot to add Dijon mustard to the rub.

Yum

When I make beef barley soup I simmer the heck out of marrow bones

[Vendome]

Luv bone marrow
