Did anyone ever have the desire to go further when eating meat, such as chicken wings, to chew the bones as well and eat the marrow?

I do that with chicken, porkchops, steaks, ribs, ham bones, etc....

Yeah, i did that when my gran made the likes of boiled hamribs.

We were encouraged to eat/chew the marrow.

Never did it with chicken bones through, but we did eat the liver.

Me too, I sometimes, but rarely, have the desire to go further to eat bone and get to the marrow. I told this to my cousin on FB and he said that was weird, so hence me asking you guys the question. I guess my cousin has genes that are far and few between what I got.

None of the above... grey/gray, reminds me of molding clay or Play-doh or something similar that we had in the 70s and came in a plastic egg, for which I can't remember the name, but I chewed on a ton of the stuff.

 

I never had the desire to chew the molding clay, but I did have the desire to eat dirt, which I did, only once as a small child while making mud pies. Interesting that too that dirt is basically ground up rocks, and metal is made from rocks etc. - i.e. carbon.

"Dirt is a mix of tiny rocks, decayed organisms, living organisms, air, and water. The rocks/mineral grains in soil have a variety of different chemical elements in their makeup, including Oxygen, Silicon, Aluminum, Iron, Calcium, and Sodium. The living (or formerly living) portions of dirt are carbon-based."

What is dirt made of?

I could stay here all day and chat but I have to make tracks as I have a lot to do today. See ya all later.
