Bone marrow, still in the bone and with Fleur de Sel, is one of my favorite dishes! How do Americans think about bone marrow as a dish?
It's rare in American cuisine but in New York one of my favorite restaurants has a bone marrow fried rice and it's sublime.
I don't understand how meat stored in ambient conditions and quite warm temperatures (main article seems to say ~20C) doesn't go off.
Oxygen - or lack of. Think about it - marrow is sealed inside the bone. They had to use stone chisels to free it so it could be consumed :)

Crickets is what you'll get from Americans on this topic. Chances are they haven't seen it in a restaurant or anywhere else.

I can’t speak for all Americans, but it’s fantastic and sadly inaccessible. Grocery stores either don’t have them, want to charge an unreasonable premium as if it’s exotic, or ideally will give them away.

Those who do have access are very much into it.

I don't know if "exotic" is the right word, but they are scarce; there aren't many good marrow bones compared to the amount of meat on a cow. I have good relationships with a couple Chicago butchers (I was an investor) and I'd have to ask far ahead for the marrow bones. Since there's so little of it to sell, they're more likely to make a product that stretches them, like marrow butter or bone marrow burgers, than to…
