New York whiskey serve is close to the bone

Whiskey lovers who get squeamish about the addition of a mere splash of water to their dram may not want to visit The Cannibal in New York.

The restaurant has adopted a novel serve - funnelling whiskey down the medullary cavities of roasted bones, directly into customers’ gobs.

Owner Christian Pappanicholas reckons whiskey and fat complement each other, though why diners are willing to submit to the faintly humiliating ‘luge’ instead of, you know, just eating some bone marrow, remains a mystery.
