Ever heard of Osso bucco? Delightful dish of shank bones with meat and
marrow and a wonderful sauce , finished with a gremolata. Nw there is
gourmet eating. they even sometimes give you tiny spoons to get at that
marrow. What a rich tasting treat!Ihav even cooked it once or twice, but
I find it hard to get the special shanks.
