I recommend that you try it. I know it myself. One pound of this Cookery wou'd keep a Man in good Heart above a Month, and is not only nourishing, but likewise very wholesome. Particularly it is good against Fluxes, which Woodsman are very liable to, by lying too near the moist Ground, and guzzling too much cold water. But as it will be only us'd now and then, in Times of Scarcity, when Game is wanting, two Pounds of it will be enough for a Journey of six months.
Homemade stocks make a difference.
And it's nice to boil up those vegetable scraps, those chicken backs, those choking fish bones that drive the kids crazy anyway. No one would quarrel with the results. The history of concentrated stock is interesting. In fact, portable soup has been around much longer as a mainstay of nomadic cultures, including medieval Magyar warriors . Happily, home cooks can now reach beyond bouillon cubes to acquire professional soup bases .
