Frivilous (but hopefully interesting) Question

OK flow gurus,

Frivilous question for yous all-I am sure there is an obvious answer.

Warning-to non meat eaters-this might be a bit graphic.

Why does bone marrow from larger bones (eg lamb shank) which is white 
and fatty, taste sweet, whereas marrow from more honeycombed bones (eg 
ribs) -red and not so separate from the bone-tastes slatier.

The cooking method doesn't seem to matter overly much-even quite salted 
meat cuts still have very sweet marrow.

Ideas? 

Thanks heaps

JAne
