Bone Marrow

Many cultures enjoy bone marrow as food. It is the soft, fatty tissue found in the hollow of long bones, and should not be confused with spinal marrow (amourettes). It is often poached and scooped out with a small spoon onto toasted country bread. It is also used to flavor risotto or sauces and can be used as a filling or in forcemeats. It is an important element in the enjoyment of osso bucco, braised veal shank.
