Yes, but it's a type of bone that is likely to have meaty and fatty parts attached, I believe.

"Marrow bone" to me implies the important bit is inside the bone, not the "meaty and fatty parts attached."

Period English recipes often refer to "marrow bones".

I keep encountering this word in the old Hungarian cookbooks, and I can't seem to come up with a satisfactory translation. The dictionary defines _konc_ primarily as a bone you throw to a dog, but mentions an older meaning of a bone with membranes or meaty and fatty parts attached, cooked for human consumption. The recipes mentioning it give the impression that it was considered a positive thing: too common to be a delicacy, but desirable like one. The derogatory associations apparently came later.
Is there a word for this bone-with-stuff in English? Archaic will do; there'll be a footnote and glossary entry either way.
