Can anyone tell me what the difference is?? I'm guessing that broth
is just the unseasoned liquid from simmering chicken parts and stock is
the seasoned version. What is consomme compared to these?

Thanks....Sharon

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.

So what's YOUR recipe for stock? What makes it better than my POW gruel?

There is no one stock recipe, but regardless which one the cardinal
rule is NO scraps. Contrary to popular belief of those who pray to
FoodTV stock is NOT a way to salvage garbage. Stock is made from the
very best of the best freshest ingredients. Where did yoose kitchen
imbeciles come up with the concept of thinking stock making is a way to
use the slimey veggies in your fridge and previously gnawed bones,
butcher trimmings, and avian spinal cords. BLECH!

Do you mean the old Geneva Convention, or the new and improved American
version?

Why is it always so easy to pick out the cowardly draft dodger types...
