FAO: anyone paying £9 for <500ml of cloudy (poorly made) ‘bone broth’. Here is how to make a basic stock (made properly).https://twitter.com/emilylinka/status/1075677459306168321 …

1. Get animal bones. Try to get bits that are not used as meat cuts (backs, necks, feet, etc). Befriend a butcher. Save all your bones from cooking if you can. 2. Roast bones until dark brown. 3. Put in a pan and cover with cold water (just covered) 4. Put a lid on the pan
5. Simmer the stock for ~1.5-2 hours. Skimming off the foam/fat/scum every half hour or so. (Save the fat for cooking) 6. Strain, cool This will last 3 months frozen, at least.
Options: - add vegetables - add aromatic herbs (add in the last 5/10 mins, otherwise you lose the aromats) - reduce the stock for intensifying flavour, or for making sauce - you can add some salt, but it depends on how you use it. - use one stock as a base for another
Stock/broth should not be nine fucking quid for a bottle.
Stock can be affordable and easy enough to make for anyone to have.

I should set up local stock co-ops to use up food waste and teach people basic cookery skills in the process.

What does roasting the bones accomplish? Is it only for raw bones? (I make stock from roasted chicken carcasses, so they start cooked)
I was taught that the roasting serves two functions - one is extra flavour from the Maillard/caramelisation, the other is that cooking the bones prevents ‘impurities’
from ruining the taste. Some of this is basically folk wisdom, so I should probably look for actual research.
