Lamb bone boiled in dan gway isn’t mainly for meat. Taiwanese suck out the marrow with a straw.
Taste that creamy goodness.

i hate you for posting this. gross.
Perhaps not so gross. I’m Italian-American (3d generation). We have a popular dish called Osso Buco (veal shanks). Typically, the shank is presented on the dish standing up and the marrow is soft. We don’t suck it out with a straw but we spoon it out (if large enough) or use a fork to pick it out. It’s considered a delicacy. I always eat in first. I’ve never tried lamb bone marrow but we eat lamb regularly so I may give it a shot next time we cook a leg.
Mike — I thought you said the food there would be good…
I don’t see what’s so gross here. Bone marrow is extremely good eats.
Oh my! Please tell me we aren’t eating that in China!
I feel less Asian with your fam on another continent. And because I cannot sit at the table eating marrow with you.
Jenna, Andrea and Steph: It really is quite tasty. I had four shanks that night.
Charles and Ben: I have to admit that I didn’t have five cause I became a bit queasy.
Erin: You will always be a half more Asian than Whites, a half more White and Asians, and more Asian and White than half the world’s popluation. So don’t worry.
Correction: than, not and.
