The dictionary  defines _konc_ primarily as a bone you throw to a dog, but mentions an  older meaning of a bone with membranes or meaty and fatty parts  attached, cooked for human consumption. The recipes mentioning it give  the impression that it was considered a positive thing: too common to  be a delicacy, but desirable like one. The derogatory associations  apparently came later.
