Veal Bones

[edenman]

I watched it on Wednesday and actually went to my local grocery store to ask if they could sell me veal bones - which they couldn't. Anyone know of a place where I can get them so I can try some marrow on toast?

Give Union Meat a call. Or maybe Wagshal's

Befriend someone in the business, maybe a restaurant that you spend a lot of money at or eat often and ask them to add to their order. I have done that and pay them when I pick it up. Works well for stock bones as well.

You can buy bone marrow at Brookeville market in cleveland park. You can eat it (really good by the way) at Blue Duck Tavern

I have two lovely veal bones with marrow right now after making braised veal shanks. I used to eat marrow when I was younger but am somehow squeamish about it now. I saved the bones and will try eating the marrow on bread tomorrow if I can bring myself to it.

I got the veal, with bones, at Union Meat--2 in a vac-u-sealed pack. I braised the shanks tonight, and the meat was very good. If you want to buy the meat there, the bones come with it.

I haven't watched the Fergus Henderson podcast, but we had the veal marrow tonight. The only fresh bread I had was everything bagels* from Costco. I figured they'd make decent toast. Two bones. Two toasted bagel halves. Marrow. Gray salt. Baby arugula and pea vines. Wow.

*The fennel topping seemed particularly suited to the marrow. I always buy these things forgetting there's fennel on them. I don't like fennel seeds on bagels. They are, however, excellent if the bagel has veal marrow spread on it.
