[Sca-cooks] [EK] default broth (fwd)

[jenne at fiedlerfamily.net]

I was thinking about the default type of broth to be added to a dish when
broth is specified... (Ok, years ago when I shared my redaction of hen in
broth with my non-SCAdian ex his comment was "So medieval people just
happened to have chicken broth laying around in cans..." which degenerated
into why medieval people would have spare broth at all...)

Anyway, the Boiling Pot in the Hampton Court kitchen was apparently used
for Beef, and so the majority of the broth available would have been beef.
Would that be true with other cultures or times? How would one find out?
