Do westerners eat cartilage?!


Question: Do westerners eat cartilage!?
When I eat chicken, I love gnawing every bit of meat, skin, and cartilage off of the bone (and sometimes cracking the bone open and sucking out the marrow)!. So far, I only know asians who do this (and one jewish person)!. Are there westerners who do this!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Some do, some don't!. My mother was a big fan of marrow!. However, the way you describe eating meat probably would be "unseemly" in many western restaurants!. Eating with the hands is often frowned upon!. So you might want to leave the bone-cracking, marrow eating, for the privacy of your own home!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Actually when I was young in the 40's and 50's!. I used to go to my Great Grandma's house get the cauldo bones; (soup bones) and removed the marrow and put salt and pepper on it and roll in between a homemade corn tortilla!. I was in high heaven with the delicious taste snack!. That was my Mexican culture upbringing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Most don't but I sure do!. I love them chicken bone ends! (To say nothing of the cartilege in such things as oxtail stew or osso buco!.)
As for marrow, there is a dish with beef marrow in puff paste, called a vol au vent, that is to die for!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I know with KFC they pressure cook their chicken and with the crispy crust it can be scarfed to the bare bone I know the chicken ribs a crunchy treat!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Naw!! Us Western type peeple wud rather naw on big 'ol chunk a sineeew and some pork 'n beef by-products,there!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
