I wouldn't go near any of these. If I buy stock/broth for the pantry
I want the bland, neutral kind that tastes only of chicken. I want to
add herbs and spices to suit whatever I'm using it for. I don't want
to start from some already flavor-boosted point that may not suit.
Same thing when I make stock. If it's just for future as yet
undefined purposes the stock will be made with very minimal
flavorings--chicken, salt, one thin slice of ginger, one small splash
of sherry. On the other hand, if I know I'm using the stock for
chicken soup, say, I'll include other things while making it--onion,
garlic, celery, carrot, parsley, bay leaf.

Sounds like your problem is they didn't sell well.

Don't know. I buy stock at Trader Joe's and don't recall seeing this
brand. -aem
