[Sca-cooks] Is there a word for this in English?

[Terry Decker]

Technically, stocks are sieved clean and show up in early modern cooking. 
The Medieval and Renaissance use would have been in broth, but I haven't 
found any general reference phrase, such as "soup bone" which dates from the 
early 20th Century.  The pre-16th Century recipes I've been looking at 
either generically call for "broth" or specify cuts or type of meat to be 
used.

I think the closest you can get in English may be scraps (small pieces of 
something).  Meat and bone scraps (USDA) are a by-product of meat packing. 
Meat and bone scraps can be fed to dog or tossed in the cook pot for flavor.

I keep encountering this word in the old Hungarian cookbooks, and I can't
seem to come up with a satisfactory translation. 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.

Is there a word for this bone-with-stuff in English? Archaic will do;
there'll be a footnote and glossary entry either way.
