Marrow Bones with Toast

Marrow was served in its bones at Victorian dinner parties, wrapped in heavy linen napkins and eaten with long-handled silver spoons. It is incredibly rich and a little goes a long way. An accompanying parsley or rocket salad will offset the richness. Your butcher will either give you beef marrow bones or make only a nominal charge. Ask him to saw the bones into 10-cm / 4-inch pieces.
