why would anyone be "disgusted" by it? I dont get that. Unless they are a vegetarian and if thats the case they need to just zip it.

Must be the same co-worker that has issues with raw meat.

There should be an option for veggies just because I would prefer to see the % of those who eat meat, but not off the bone.

Me? I would put Fred Flintstone to shame,lol.

I don't mind it at all. But my hubby isn't a fan - mostly because he doesn't like messy food. He's totally missing out!

How the hell else would anyone expect me to eat my ribs or turkey leg?

I don't eat meat on the bone. I don't really know why, there's just something about it. I certainly wouldn't say someone else is gross for doing so, though. I generally think it's rude to say someone else's food is gross.

Occasionally.

Hell to the yes! I love a big ribeye on the bone... Ok, maybe I don't pick up the whole steak and eat it off the bone, but I will naw the good bits off the bone.

Do they make bacon on the bone?????????

*running to get a roll of paper towel and some wet wipes*

Chief, I don't think bacon comes on the bone (lol), BUT I have seen people make ribs wrapped in bacon and smothered in sauce...so its kinda like eating it off the bone.

I have this oral thing where I can't stand the texture of certain things against my mouth, like popsicle sticks/wooden coffee stirrers and bones, so I always take any meat I'm about to eat off of the bone. My husband likes to gnaw on bones when he eats steak though...watching him do it makes my skin crawl because I'm imagining it in my mouth. Weird, but true.

Chicken, ribs, pork, and anything else sign me up I'm washable.

Yes, yes a thousand times yes. And I'm even more than happy to gnaw at the bone...
I sometimes can eat the bones of chicken clean if there's no one around esp. LOL.

And mess up my makeup No I'm bonephobic, but I'm no vegan. I'll just pull it off with the fork and devour!

Depends on where I am. At home by myself, yes I'll use my hands. Out with others or at a barbecue, no way!

For some reason it just tastes better that way.

I love attacking bones, as it seems like the meat is so much tastier. Small bones I'll eat (especially if they're roasted, so they're almost crumbling), as with most of the cartilage.

Damn it, I could kill for some spare ribs right now.

CaterpillarGirl couldn't have said it better myself. I sometimes cringe at the wording used on this site. I eat meat, on the bone, off the bone doesn't matter.
