More importantly, perhaps, is if the broth is being made for a
medicinal purpose, or even under many other circumstances, you get a
good stock by extracting almost _all_ of the flavor from the solids.
I know some people like to boil chicken parts for soup and then
include the meat, but in a really fine stock this is usually pretty
pointless.

There's a cute dog-eating scene in one of the Jet Li "Once Upon a
Time In China" movies (and Li is playing, among many, many actors who
portrayed this person, Wong Fei-hung, late Qing Dynasty Republican
revolutionary, buddy of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, and ancestor of my wife).
