Fixed it for you. How do you eat something that you can't chew up.

Of course you can chew it. It's crunchy goodness!

its the best part

especially when you grill the chicken

egyeyes bumped this to bring it to me attention.

I am an inhuman consumer of strange food items, and gristle, fat, cartilage, connective tissue, and offal are part of my daily diet.

When I eat chicken, the only thing that remains is the hardest parts of the bone. I eat the gristle, the tendons and connective tissue, the soft bone-caps, and the marrow when the bones are thick enough to break open and actually get any. Even on breast pieces I eat the soft rib-bones and such. If I can chew it and it's tasty, it's going down.

This kind of food is something I ate a lot of in the UK, especially marrow and offal, because they're just more open to it. I used to have relatives in down-east NC that would cook bones with scrapes and marrow and basically use the rendered bits to make a loaf of meat, or a marrow butter to spread on bread. Fuck yes, only things like blood sausage can come close to that kind of epicness.

save that shit for me if you dont want it. Especially if its been on the grill and is slightly charred.

Also, I don't mind a good prime ribe with a couple of good chunks of fat

I do exactly this. When I get done with a chicken bone it looks like it's been picked clean and left in the sun to bleach for weeks.

That's totally me... you guys took the words out of my mouth!

Bone marrow is so fucking delicious and so fucking nutritious.

Have you guys tried beef or lamb bone marrow? That has a totally different consistency and taste than chicken bone marrow, but still very delicious!
