_______________________________________________________________________________ Subject: Re: Frivilous (but hopefully interesting) Question From: Kathy McKinnon Date: 10/30/97 2:56 PM Are you testing these bones for diseases before tasting them? We find that the bone marrow from a Balb/C mouse is better with a red wine, but the C57BL/6 bone marrow is better in the summer with a fruity wine and wheat crackers.

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
