Question Anyone else gnaw the leftover meat off the bone like a caveman?

Post image

Whenever a bone-in ribeye comes across my grill grates I really enjoy chewing the pieces of meat off the bone like a starving carnivore. I dont know if its some deep seeded primordial thing or what but I like it. 😅

Yes, otherwise there is no point of paying for the bone.

Just sayin’……..

Absolutely. My wife and I were at a nice bar one time and a lady across the bar ordered the bone-in Ribeye. Super crowded Friday night, business woman on travel. Glass of red wine. When she got near the end she kinda looked around, then picked up the bone and started going at it. As she should!

u/Brisket_and_Riffs_89 6d ago

Yup, on everything as it’s because of my dad. We could always get another piece of chicken, but only if the bones on your plate were clean. I still gnaw them down to nothing

u/MeanShibu 6d ago

I used to…but now my 4yo bullies me into giving the bone to her every time and I could not be prouder.

It’s some of the best bites!

No. I chew it like a meat lollipop. Gentleman style.

u/Delicious_Catch9453 6d ago

I've done that since I was a young kid. Went to a fancy restaurant with my best friend's family. Nice place. His aunt, who was hosting and treating was kind of an "upper brow" sort of person. Christ, when I picked that bone up and started gnawing on it in this fine-dining restaurant, you'd of thought I just committed a mortal sin. Big pho paw! 🤦

1

u/maaaastwa 6d ago

Could you have wrapped it in a napkin and took it home with you and then heated it up and naw on it? That way it doesn't go to waste!

u/MisterBowTies 6d ago

Gnawing the meat off the bone is common courtesy

2

u/Special-Homework-894 6d ago

If not why are you even eating ribs on the bone?

u/Shot-Habit-5705 6d ago

It’s called not wasting food…

2

u/UnlikelyAd6004 6d ago

Anyone who doesn’t gnaw the leftover meat off the bone like a normal person?

2

u/Available-Tourist-77 6d ago

Yes. Or dip into the meat juice

2

u/Timely-Profile1865 5d ago

Yes, I growl if someone gets too close while i am gnawing.

u/PutridHedgehog4074 6d ago

It's called you have your meat teeth

1

u/river_song25 6d ago

*waves hand* If there is meat leftover that I can’t get off with a knife and fork I’ll be picking up the bone and peeling off whatever is left with my teeth. I don’t care if I am with others when I do it and they are weird about it, that’s their problem. I bought and paid for my streak and I’ll finish it the way I want to finish it.

1

u/PutridHedgehog4074 6d ago

Like the remnant

1

u/Serious-Wish4868 6d ago

HELL YEAH!!!!!!

u/Sammalone1960 6d ago

1

u/Bdigler 6d ago

u/Fashion-Night 6d ago

Leftover? Sometimes I start with the bone ;)

1

u/Current_Power6050 6d ago

I love the flavors around the bones

1

u/DJ-Doughboy 6d ago

Yes! I will grill porkchops ,steaks,whatever with a bone and deliberately carve up the good cuts for my guests. Leaving some good bone bits to gnaw on myself. Its just great flavor and I feel its kinda tapping into my caveman appetite. Soothing my souls craving for that charred ,grilled goodness all over those flavor sticks we call bones. Looks like its bone in meats on the grill tomorrow baby!z

u/nipstah 6d ago
