Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 , Would there be anything leeching from the bones that you wouldn't want to ingest, assuming it's a healthy animal? I always wondered what the " impurities " could be. - At 12:13 PM 10/01/2003 -0400, you wrote: >Janice- > >I have no hard data on the matter, but one thing the author of this recipe >may not be considering is that the foam could be leeching out of the bones, >and therefore could contain substances that you wouldn't in fact eat if you >cooked the meat another way. > > >The foam that rises is a colloidal > >juice from the meat that you would eat if you cooked it another way.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 - I can't say whether there *would* be, since I've never heard of any actual analysis of the content of the foam, but healthy or not, any modern animal is sure to have absorbed abundant pollutants, and for whatever it is or isn't worth, I've always noticed that my stocks -- which, BTW, never come out clear and don't look at all filtered -- taste better when I've skimmed. I think the process of skimming predates the industrial revolution, though, so maybe the foam isn't harmful and it's just a taste issue, or maybe there are a few undesirable components of bone that are reduced by skimming. I really have no idea. >Would there be anything leeching from the bones that you wouldn't want to >ingest, assuming it's a healthy animal?

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Dear Bea, My congratulations to Ted and to you for helping him get through this far. I think we should have a category for caregivers, too! It is not easy being one, but you two have done almost as much traveling as Shelagh. I want to warn you about Shelagh, she will drink a toast to almost anything, just drop her a line and she will take a drop or two, an the more toasts, the better. LOL She's also going to send me some chicken soup, what a great friend!!!!!! I hope she uses some good wine in it to ramp it up. I would be happy to add Ted to the list (if I can still find it!), and anyone else who is hiding in the bullrushes. It has nothing to do with age, folks, I will not divulge that, just if you are in your 10th year. I think it is something to celebrate, since a lot of us were only given 3 /12 to 5 years. Boy did I have one big smirk on my face on that 5th anniversary. All I wanted to do was celebrate my 50th wedding anniversary and we passed that up 6 years ago, so how about a toast for that, Shelagh? I'll even have one with you, a good German Rhine will suffice. LOL I saw a show on TV where the couple were fighting and she complained that he drank her cooking wine. Bet she could have had a good binge on that. Ugh. LOL Can't married couples find racier things to fight over than cooking wine? True story. Yes, we have been cyber buddies for a long time and it has been my pleasure, you always have something pleasant to report. I hope Ted is doing fine on his own now that you are getting ready to go back to work. Maybe he will have dinner ready for you when you get home. Ta for now and I always send my best wishes. Did you and Shelagh ever run across each other at conferences? If so, I should be careful what I say about her. She won't post her stories, as she said she would have to clean them up first and then they would cease to be funny. Well a little soap and water would take care of that potty mouth. LOL Have lots of Carpe Diems, Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
