Bone Marrow Popcorn!

posted by on May 30 at 12:24 PM

Joule, Wallingford’s French-Korean restaurant, is hosting a weekly summer barbecue series starting this Sunday with “Operation Clam Bake.”

Other scheduled barbecues: “Hail to the Vegetables,” “Food on a Stick,” and “Where’s the Beef?” The latter, scheduled for July 20, stars smoked brisket, a chilled beef salad, and bone marrow popcorn.

“We just soak the bones in cold water to get the blood out,” says Joule chef/owner Rachel Yang. “Then it’s just popped from the bone, battered, and deep-fried.”

I have an unusual affection for marrow. I will be there.

The Stranger should be buying carbon offsets for all the meat consumption you promote.

At least this promotes getting the most out of your meat as possible. People need to learn that there's more to beef than sirloins and rounds.

"I have an unusual affection for marrow"

Unusual? Is there any other kind?

And I'm a, uh, firm believer in getting the most out of one's meat. Or another's.

There is scientific evidence that it was bone marrow that lead humans to develope tools. I think it goes to our roots no matter what you think about meat today.

@7

You know what else "goes to our roots"? Having sex with a continuum of neanderthal-ish protohumans on our way to homo sapiens sapiens-ness. Enjoy.
