SC - Soup stock

[Louise Sugar]

Actually, as a child I can remember my grandmother always having a pot 
simmering on the stove.  Into it went all kinds of odds and ends....potato 
peelings, onion stuff, celery leaves, the skins of tomatoes when she was 
making tomato sauce, meat trimmings, etc.  best darned soup in the 
world....she clarifed it with a beaten egg white then added whatever meat 
and stuff before serving with loaves of hot crusty bread

        I'm in the middle of reading an essay by Barbara Stanich (I think)
who is talking abbout this unedited manuscript of a  German monastery
cookbook from the 14th century which talks about adding in things to food
we normally throw away.  She mentions that one recipe includes fish scales,
another using cow udder (mmmmm).  She feels that they waste nothing and
thereby ate things we don't.  I didn't bring it to work but I can bring it
Monday... she has several recipes listed including antler soup.  She also
talks about availablity of food and such.  The whole book is really
interesting.  I can only remember it came out in 1995.
