JW> True.

Mostly with chicken bones I'll place them at the edge of the cutting
board w/one end on a paper towel on the counter top and whack them in
the middle with the back of a chef's knife or cleaver. Snap, crackle,
pop and into the stock pot.  Bv)=

Yeah, large animal bones can be tough to crack.

Well, yeah. You want more of a "metal cutting" blade and a wood sawing
one.

And the hack-saw looking bone saws I have seen in use are much "deeper"
than a typical handyman's hacksaw.

     Title: Fergus Henderson's Roast Bone Marrow & Parsley Salad
Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Breads
     Yield: 4 servings

          Marrowbone; 12 x 7/8 cm
          - pieces of middle veal
       bn (big) parsley; picked from
          - its stems
     2    Shallots; peeled, very thin
          - sliced
     1    Handful extra-fine capers

MMMMM--------------------------DRESSING-------------------------------
          Lemon juice
          Extra-virgin olive oil
       pn (ea) sea salt & pepper
          Toast

 Put the bone marrow in an ovenproof frying pan and place
 in a hot oven. The roasting process should take about 20
 minutes depending on the thickness of the bone. You are
 looking for the marrow to be loose and giving, but not
 melted away, which it will do if left too long
 (traditionally the ends would be covered to prevent any
 seepage, but I like the colouring and crispness at the
 end).

 Meanwhile lightly chop your parsley, just enough to
 discipline it, mix it with the shallots and capers, and
 at the last moment, dress.

 Here is a dish that should not be completely seasoned
 before leaving the kitchen rendering a last-minute
 seasoning unnecessary by the actual eater; this,
 especially in the case of coarse sea salt, gives texture
 and uplift at the moment of eating. My approach is to
 scrape the marrow from the bone onto the toast and
 season with coarse sea salt. Then a pinch of parsley
 salad on top of this and eat. Of course once you have
 your pile of bones, salad, toast, and salt is 'liberty
 hall'.
