A CLOSER TASTE
About the dish
Pickled onion and green salsa accompany the rich base of this starter. Both additions let you change the impression of each bite. If you are trying marrow bones for the first time, ask the waiter how best to enjoy the serving and which bread to choose.
Flavour and serving
Try the onion and salsa separately with the main part of the dish. This makes it easier to decide which accompaniment you would like in the next bite.
The accompaniments deserve attention here: pickled onion and green salsa are listed alongside the bones. Compare small amounts with each before combining them. If the table has several meat dishes, give the marrow bones their own tasting moment. This preserves the character of the serving and keeps the onion and salsa separate from sauces on other plates.
What to try alongside
This starter suits an unhurried tasting at a shared table. Bread is ordered separately; discuss the choice with the team when ordering the marrow bones.
