can you use the shank bone of a cow?
Hi was just wondering, Can you use any bone to represent the Passover Lamb? I have been to many cedars and have never been to one that they used a cow bone! Please help me cause when I found out I just froze.

RE: Shankbone
Roast the shankbone for a few minutes, over an open fire. The meat can be removed after cooking.
