Life These Are the Rewards
Posted by Brendan Kiley on Sat, Jan 23, 2010 at 6:51 PM
A glass of Bordeaux, a plate of bone marrow, and a bitchin' new book (The Iron Will of Shoeshine Cats, a kind of Jewish William Kennedy novel—but funnier—about gangsters and nerds in 1963 New York).
I realize it makes me sound like an 80-year-old man who's drowning in sweater vests and mothballs—but that's the stuff.
These pleasures can be found at Solo.

Yeah, I was gonna say that if you were 80, you'd be openly speculating about what all that marrow and wine is going to do to your bowels.

I think he's just trying to get at the fact that most people these days didn't grow up eating marrow, but an 80 year old would have. Marrow is, like a great number of other rediscovered gastronomical treats, historically a "poor people" food. Good marrow bones are now usually given to dogs in the US because of their inexpensive nature.
I do think it goes better on toast than straight up bread, but that's a personal preference.

Griffin, I agree with your density. It's heard around the world, the meticulous of Walla Walla are listening.
