Brown Stock Primer #2

Why are veal bones the desired bones to use to prepare stock?  BECAUSE....drum roll please.... the bones of younger animals contain more cartilage and collagen, which makes a much richer, more velvety mouthfeel when the stock is finished.  This stock also makes a foolproof "aspic", once clarified,  though most people don't even know what that is anymore...   If you missed "Brown Stock Primer #1, it's on file right here at 'the blog"...  Now, wish me luck as I go feed 800 at the Franklin Convention Center - the Kentucky Legislature is in for a treat of Smoked Kentucky Trout Mousse on Cucumber Cups, and Sweet Potato Bourbon Soup with 5-Spice!!For more Fun Facts subscribe to http://blog.lulasforlunch.com or visit http://www.lulasforlunch.com !
