I think I might go make sure everything’s doing okay at the back of the fridge.

Land Animal

A land animal is kosher if it both a) has split hooves and b) chews its cud . Examples of kosher animals include cows, sheep, goats and deer. Examples of non-kosher animals include pigs, rabbits, squirrels, bears, dogs, cats, camels and horses

Give it a quick sniff. It’s probably still good.

“You’re not going to eat that marrow? There are children starving in the next cave who would be happy to have it, and after all the time I spend preparing it!”

Spaghetti with bone marrow balls

A little something to nosh on…

So, 200-420 (heh heh)k millenials were eating marrow toast back then?

Can’t blame them, it is pretty tasty.

(but without refrigeration, even in a cave, one has to wonder how long it would last)

There doesn’t seem to be much Boomer criticism about marrow on toast

Twinkies?

They’d still be fresh. They don’t just have a shelf life, they have a half life

The discovery is believed to be between 200,000 and 420,000 years old,

I don’t think Kosher had been invented yet…

If they weren’t in unlabeled aluminum foil, they weren’t leftovers…
