You might want to look at the publishing date of your books. Most of mine
from the 80's have very few references to pork-anything, while those from
the 50's - 70's have as many as they do seafood. My best guess would be
that there was a time that pork was kinda' out of favor...???
But done right...hell, even if you mess it up a little!...pork stock can
be much more rich and full than chicken, beef, or fish stock.
I know you can make vegetable stock...wonder if you can make a chile
stock...anyone tried?
