I can't prove it, and I don't think I have ever done the recipe, but my
guess, from the way the recipe is written, would be that marrow is the
major ingredients, with the other things flavoring it. Note, for example,
that hony, pepper, cinamon and ginger are all given in parallel, as if they
serve the same role.
