The American Heritage Dictionary (www.bartleby.com) does not distinguish
between stock and broth. But, this perhaps reflects common rather than
specialist usage.

The meat vs bones distinction seems useful and plausible at least among
professionals. But, is there a second authoritative source for it, other
then our Chef Hans?

Actually I have two sources that contradict this and say a broth is called
stock when it is used as a liquid to cook something else in.

The first source is James Peterson¹s ³Splendid Soups² who states on page
59: ³if a broth is being used as a backdrop for other flavors
(technically, this is called stock) * as in vegetable soups * it isn¹t
necessary to use meat² Note the reference to meat is incidental (not
central) and the distinction is that stock is broth that is being used to
cook something else.



This is what I would've guessed.
Not to mention that I revere James
Peterson. :-)
