I was in the meat section the other day, and they had some big bones, beef,
I believe, that were about 1.5 to 2" diameter outside. They were cut in
pieces about as long as they were round. I figure you would use them for
making soup stock. Is that right? Any other uses? How about for bird
suet? They were pretty cheap.

In the configuration described they are likely marrow bones. Soup
bones would be cut much longer and have some meat on them. Saying
they're "pretty cheap: is meaningless without giving a price.

Sounds like marrow bones to me, the Brits in particular like them baked
and then eat the marrow out of the bone with a special spoon. I reckon
you could make stock from them too.

Our veterinarian suggests those "shin bones" are the best for dogs-
just raw.

And funny, but every night before dinner with my grandmother we had
"bone" soup. Exactly as described in the post by Janet. We had it
every night. Yes we also had it cold and called it consomme and it
was served with a bit of lemon juice on it. A real family favorite-
both cold and hot!

aloha,

Not siut there, but yes, used for stocks/soups. Brits roast them as is and
eat the marrow out with tiny spoons.

I buy them for my pooch, she loves them raw. Licks all the marrow out first,
then chews the bones :-)

If we are not meant to eat animals,
why are they made of meat?

Pooch has taste, you don't.
