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

[Kirsten Houseknecht]

i would think the "broth" available would have usually been mamal.. as (in
my opinion) most of the "throw the leftovers, bones, and some of those
vegetable bits in a pot and its broth....." that i have seen tend to be
cow, goat, sheep, pig or some other four foot.

i would look at what the dominant "animal" was in the region, and assume
they used that.
