Bone Broth page

I'm incredibly disappointed in my taste buds for how they are reacting to the bone broth I made. After hearing most of you go on about how tasty bone broth is, and reading how great it is for you, I made some from beef bones.

I've tried it twice, but it just feels so greasy in my mouth after I swallow a bit. I tried adding some egg ala egg drop soup, but that didn't make it any better.

How do I eat my bone broth? I want all of the benefits it has, I want to like it! But for now....it's a little repulsive :'(

It tastes neutral to me. I freeze it and use a cube or two every day in my pottage.

After you made it, did you put it in the refrigerator overnight so the fat would rise to the top and congeal and could be taken off (and used for cooking)? That still leaves good fat in it but not nearly so greasy in the mouth.

x2, always scrape off the fat unless you're into it. I am.

and could be taken off (and used for cooking)?

I use lamb stock/broth for cooking my veggies in, a good size slab of it complete with small soft bones, but I couldn't sit down and eat the stuff. Use it as a base!

Don't throw away that fat though. At least if you're using pastured ruminant bones to make the broth. That would be like eating egg whites and throwing away yolks, e.g. a sacrilege.

I don't much like the bone broth, either. I have a new favorite though that I suspect is just as good: oxtails. Oh my, so good. There's this bit of gelatin at the ends of the bones that is so tasty. I cooked my oxtails in the crock pot with a tomato-based sauce. I thought it was really tasty. And with all the connective tissue, cartilage and other bone goodness, plus some actual meat, it's like bone broth only better.

I much prefer chicken stock to beef stock. I don't skim the fat, add a little tarragon, lots of sea salt, some celery and carrots and it is delicious!

the best broth i had had been full of bone and skin... and an entire neck... completely entire, inside and out. disgusting to watch cook. and some salt sprinkled in
