 Describes a flavored and simmered water preparation that forms the base for other food items such as soups and sauces. Meat, bones, mirepoix, herbs, and spices are all common stock ingredients.Some believe that this bones requirement means that there can be no true vegetable stock, whereas others use a vegetable as the main ingredient and call it vegetable stock. Broth or bouillon are other terms considered identical to stock. |
