Hans may be right in a practical sense- In the sense that you might
not
want assertive flavors in a stock, (i.e. leaving out the meat removes
an
assertive flavor hence suitable for cooking something else in). On a
pure
technical word definition sense Hans appears to be wrong.

Surely you are not suggesting that the Time Life series is a better and
more
credible source of information on cooking terms than professional cook
books?

Any why not? Many expert chefs were involved in preparation of that
series -
Jacques Pepin for example.

But what is clear from this thread is that the words stock and broth are
used in a variety of ways by a variety of people and sources. To claim
that
they have one precise meaning as regards meat/bones, and that all other
uses
are wrong, is blatant foolishness. Unfortunately that is a common
commodity
here!

Remove the crap from my email address before using.



I just had fun making a soup base and wanted to share it. I didn't want to
get in a debate over whether I made broth or stock. To me it just doesn't
matter. This is as bad as my husband's email lists when they start talking
about whether camera lens filters degrade the quality of the picture you are
taking.
