[Note 458.2]

In 1845, inmates of Andover workhouse set to work to crush animal bones (to produce bone meal fertiliser) were in the habit of eating marrow and gristle still adhering to the bones. Workhouse inmates said that they fought each other for the bones if they were fresh, but they were so hungry that they ate the marrow even when the bones were putrid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andover_workhouse_scandal#cite_ref-munday0405_26-1
