Bone itself is mineral matrix; culinary values reflect marrow and attached tissue more than pure bone.

History

Southern African peoples hunted ostrich for meat, eggs and feathers; carcass of ostrich took a named place in that kitchen trade.

Global ostrich ranching pushed steaks into export steakhouse menus. Cooks treated carcass of ostrich as a cut with its own timing and sides.

As ostrich cookery specialised, carcass was portioned and sold ready for the pan. Health-focused marketing framed ostrich as ultra-lean red steak.
