I purchased a lovely tray of marrow bones for $1.50; they were labelled "dog treats." As I wanted to speak with the butcher to order some ox tail pieces, I explained that the bones were not really for my dog. He was astonished that a person would actually want to eat roasted marrow bones. Tomorrow, I'm returning to the shop with my copy of Jennifer McLagan's "Bones" and my antique Victorian marrow spoon. I've enjoyed that book for the past six years, and it definitely preaches to my choir. I spent the 1970s and part of the 80s living in Switzerland, and our Sunday recreation was to drive into France and dine in the vast array of good restaurants. That's when I discovered that consomme wasn't something horrid from a can but an incredible soup, and consomme a la moelle (with marrow) was especially tasty, and much more expensive. Time to get back to the kitchen where the bones are roasting in the oven. Today I was in a small butcher shop which sells “natural beef,” which I understand is local beef raised in a pasture.

In my opinion, this is the holy grail of all things delicious. To say I love this would be quite the understatement. In my opinion, this is the holy grail of all things delicious.

Marrow bones are extremely healthy for you, contain so many fat soluble vitamins, plus minerals, gelatin and wholesome cholesterol and fat to keep you strong and healthy. Human beings have thrived on such foods for thousands of years. Perhaps recently in the past few generations, it has been marketed into our minds that we are better off consuming an industrial era invention of oils. Check out Nourishing Traditions or similar.

If you can find grass fed beef marrow bones they will have better flavor and be be healthier too. I sell them occasionally on my website when I don't save them all for me. One of my chef buddies roasted them with cippolinni onions and a little tomato paste for me one time and they were incredible! A little acid like the tomato paste or a citrus helps balance out the fat flavor and makes it even more delicious! I would make a stock with the bones and marrow.
