Bone Broth Mania

You could just have a V8. I make noodle soup with V8 all of the time.

the Indianapolis Colts getting in on the action, bone broth didn't help them beat the Pats though

I'm guessing broth as described here is like stock except there's no carrot, celery, herbs or onion in the pot.

My next question: it seems to me that the broth people are just chucking bones into a pot of water and then boiling, but you don't get decent colour in your broth/consommé/stock without roasting the bones in the oven beforehand, right?

At this point I've been going to my nearest butcher (supplier to a few dozen great restaurants nearby) for years and they'll always throw in free bones or chicken carcasses with my order. These become beef stock for chilli or French onion soup, or chicken stock for matzoh ball soup.

Absolutely, I roast my beef neckbones for ~4 hrs at 300 before they hit the water.

All the bone broth instructions I've read call for roasting bones and adding aromatics. Yeah, it's stock, nbd. Paleo takeaway is "get more collagen/gelatin", so some recipes advocate chicken feet and/or pork trotters and/or veal knuckles.

No roasting required for Chinese pork rib soup

I had a Bloody Mary this weekend made w bone broth, it was fine

next up: bone broth cupcakes.

psyched for the bone broth cronut tbh

I'm holding out for Bovporken (beef, pork, and chicken bone broth).

I bought a cup of broth from the chinese supermarket across from my apt for .50 yesterday

I have a theory that "broth" has taken off with paleo types because of its rough, germanic sound, subconsciously associating it with tough primitives in people's minds (as opposed to "soup").

I made stock for gumbo in a pressure cooker a few weeks ago and it was insane

haha i saw this too

I have a theory

Seems like a basically sound theory to me. Although "stock" has similar rough Teutonic qualities, "broth" seems more archaic and evocative.

mmm. it's kicky in the good way, not the mule way.

M'm! M'm! Good... God this is... iced broth?!

I think 'bone' is the greater signifier at work. Bone stock or soup would work just as well.

bone soup just sounds like soup with a kitchen mixup

stoked that they're using bones in broth making now instead of old humidifiers

lol

goddamn this is just a way to make soup more expensive. i went to buy marrowbones the other day – more expensive than fucking palladium or w/e.

atkins --> low carb --> gluten free --> paleo --> bone broth --> lab-grown mastadon meat so you can one-up your friends by controlling your food intake

A local ranch opened up a little storefront in FW - I got a three pound grass fed beef heart for $6 and a bag of bones (enough to fill a 6qt pressure cooker) for $13. I think I'll stick to the heart.

trendy in DC too

the chef has been brewing up bone-broth curatives since the Red Apron commissary opened in late 2012 behind Union Market.

"But I didn't know it was" a bone-broth curative, Anda says one afternoon at Red Apron's D Street NW store.

"He didn't know anybody would buy it in a coffee cup," interjects Megan Bailey, PR director for Neighborhood Restaurant Group, the parent of Red Apron.

Starting Monday at the D Street location, Red Apron will start hawking bone broths, in 8-ounce and 12-ounce servings ($4.25 and $5.50 respectively). Broths will be available in pork, beef and smoked chicken, and each can be flavored with your choice of aromatics.

Well done you hipster foodie fucks.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-03-12/paleo-diet-cookbook-for-babies-under-investigation-pete-evans/6309452

Bubba Yum Yum: The Paleo Way was due to hit stores on Friday, but publishers have “held back release” indefinitely after health officials intervened, the Australian Women’s Weekly reports. Their major concern was a recipe for DIY baby formula which “contains more than ten times the safe maximum daily intake of vitamin A for babies and inadequate levels of other nutrients.”

There are so many punchable things about this story I dont know where to start. This twat also advocates "activated almonds" as if thats an Actual Thing.

Dont feed your baby breast milk, theyre better off with this ton of salted meat juice soup!

Wtf

pete evans is no better than that fake cancer woman who stole all that charity $$

Oh lol Belle Gibson. That story's been a hilarious trainwreck to follow.

tbf to hipsters, i never really felt like paleo was a hipster or even a "foodie" thing? ime it's been more a hyper-masculine fitness dork thing

btw that cookbook for babies thing is fucking grotesque

btw paleo is complete bullshit

tbf, I seriously doubt Paleo people are advocating bone broth instead of breast milk - the ones I've known/seen are very Le Leche League on that front. Would wager its suggested as a supplement to breast milk as an alternative to formula. Which you can take issue with you want, but it's different. Likewise, the liver - pretty sure they're talking about liver as one of the ingredients to the stock, not mashed up solid food for newborns. Bone broth wouldn't have solids in it.

Yeah no they mean in the stock, my understanding was it was indeed meant to completely replace milk. I could be wrong on that angle.

btw that cookbook for babies thing is fucking grotesque

To Serve Baby

I'm gonna make the NYT recipe this week because I have a new slow cooker and why not

PSA: Pressure cookers make incredible broth in a fraction of the time it takes in a slow cooker

From the article:

"There appears to be recommendations not to use either breast milk or an approved infant formula, but to provide other foods to infants under six months of age and that really is a big health risk," Professor Yeatman said.

Also liver as an ingredient in the stock is a problem because of high levels of vitamin A, which are going to be present whether you mash it up in stock or feed it as a paste to babies.

Right, the characterization by a critic is 'breast milk replacement.' I strongly doubt that's the actual wording - and other articles on the recall point to it being a formula alternative. Formula alternative makes sense - Paleo people are gung ho about avoiding processed food so they want to DIY an alternative - there's no logically consistent reason for Paleo people to oppose breast milk.

Likewise, that article's emphasis is on "mashed-up liver" in the broth and its presence being unsuitable for 1-6 month olds, which leads me to think the critic in this case is misunderstanding or misrepresenting the situation.

Like I said, there are other reasons it's dumb and probably a terrible idea, but I'm not sure that one person's take is accurate.

"Appears to be a recommendation" is the kind of wording you use when you've read a summary but not the actual work. If they're recommending bone broth instead of breast milk, it would be pretty obvious and easy to point out directly.

the larger issue is that there's nothing wrong with formula & a lot of potential for problems w/fitness ppl homebrewing an alternative

As much as I find paleo diet enthusiasm to be just another bunch of fad diet bullshit, I agree that it seems inconsistent with opposing breast milk, which is pretty damn paleo afaikt. Even if it is not what paleo adherent as a whole might do, if it is what this dingaling who wrote the cookbook recommends, that's bad. And advocating a roll-your-own broth as a substitute for infant formula, which has been developed over years and is manufactured under very tight controls and to very specific standards, is a bad, bad idea. Like, beyond dumb. Also, again, liver in whatever form unsuitable for 1-6 month olds because of the vitamin A content.

Like it is impossible for anyone in their home kitchen to replicate the necessary nutrients in commercially available infant formula to the same standards and at the same level of safety. It's the naturalistic fallacy at its most dangerous because it is endangering the lives of tiny people who are dependent on others for their survival. You have to be anti-vax level of delusional to think that whatever you can boil up in your pressure cooker is going to be better for your kid than infant formula.
