Sounds kind of silly, but what can I say.
It's only silly, Matt, in a world where that idea doesn't matter because you can't monetize the ideal well. I couldn't possibly agree more, though. ~ H

The bone I gave to my mother-in-law since I didn't have the time to do anything with it. I haven't heard back from her yet but I suspect it's quite tricky to work with. There's a ton of rancid fat still on the bone that needs to be boiled off, then it needs to be sawed into pieces to get at the marrow... it's a bit of a project. Now that I have changed countries I am looking for regional specialities, but so far it's nothing but poutine and ice wine. Bleugh. I was gifted a nice saucisson de Lyon à l'ancienne before leaving.

Tortiere can be very nice. Some very good cheese and foie gras can be find in the country surrounding the eastern townships.
