Recently I got invited to a cigar and scotch night hosted by Rocky Patel and Johnny Walker at the local golf course clubhouse and they served various appetizers like grilled bacon wrapped shrimp and grilled sausages on toothpicks, grilled chicken Brest strips on shiskkabobs with bourbon glaze, but the one that everyone had to try and most guys commented about was beef bones split lengthwise to expose the marrow then oven roasted, served with a scoop of chimichurre sauce and a big piece of toasted sourdough baguette to scoop the roasted marrow onto. It tasted better than it sounds and it was something I’d never been seen before and if it wasn’t for the alcohol and macho attitude of the event I don’t think most guys there would have tried it but it looked like of the 80-100 people there almost everyone ate all of it I only saw a few plates get left with a bite or two missing.
Marrow is great, but standing around having a drink, it seems unwieldy. Better for sitting at a table.
