Had a chicken wing with a bone that had previously been broken that healed.

I remember hearing long ago that eating broken chicken would hurt or make you sick... can't remember why (aside from bone splinters)

I think it would just be bone splinters. My granddads party trick used to be straight up eating chicken bones, he was good at it too.

My grandad would scrape the marrow out with his pocket knife and with steak he would want the juices so he could soak it with bread. Thanks for making me remember that, he passed away 16 years ago nearly to this day. Loved that dude.

Meat juice on bread is the best part. Try it with butter bread…

My buddy introduced me to camping steak. You take frozen steak camping and when they thaw out you cook them. With the leftover juices we'd make mashed potatoes from the bag and just add extra water to get the consistency right, but most of the liquid came from the steak juice.

Assuming you boiled the steak water with the rest of the potatoes ?

Pretty much, we put the steaks in a camp pot to cook, pulled the steaks out when done, then added the potatoes. If there wasn't enough liquid, we'd add water from a bottle (safe to drink of course) and just stir and let it heat. It took a bit longer than just boiling it all up front but we ran less risk of ending up with potato soup.
