marrowbone
Dog's prized treat
A marrowbone is a bone, typically from cattle, that contains marrow—the soft, fatty tissue inside bones prized for its rich flavor.
Cooks roast marrowbones and serve them as a delicacy, with the marrow scooped out and spread on toast.
Butchers sell them for making stock and broth.
The word also appears in the old-fashioned expression down on your marrowbones, meaning kneeling, since the knees contain prominent bones.
