Broth is simply clarified stock. Consomme is broth that is typically
carefully defatted and served containing a very small quantity of meat
and/or veggies... no more than essentially a garnish. Most of what
yoose dumpster divers prepare and call stock ain't worth the
clarification process and certainly not something that would ever be
served as a consomme... garbage in garbage out... what most of yoose
call stock ain't barely passable as POW gruel, in fact I seriously
doubt it would pass muster under the Geneva Convention rulz.
