Thanks, Lyn. I usually add a few allspice berries to most broths/stocks I
make, also in stews and spaghetti sauce. It's just a hint of flavor, and
doesn't stand out too much.

I've used necks before, but in a stockpot, not a crockpot. That's a good
idea. I bought wings only this time because I really didn't need a package
of both for this one occasion. If the excess went to the freezer, they'd
have hung around too long.
