Lambs liver

Most high-street butchers (and good butchery dept in a supermarkets) will have beef bones @therower

They make a good stock much the same as a Ham Hock does when making a pea & ham soup.

53 years and I've completely missed " beef bones". Understand there availability for pets but not us humans.
Ignorance on my part.
Feel educated and a bit more knowledgeable.
Actually worked half a day in a slaughterhouse once, de-boning cow's heads. If I'd have known then what I know now I would have smuggled out a few skulls.
 
Be aware that once cooked, bones are bad for dogs - they become hard and can cause damage, like splinters of plastic or glass.
When I buy a whole animal at the butcher - I have a traditional butcher just around the corner, I get the bones and bits, so I can render the fat and use the bones in casseroles.
Modern cookery standards are very wasteful and many cuts of meat which were standards in a lot of households are now not bought regularly. Such things as pressure cookers are no longer on the wedding present lists of most engaged couples.
Back at the time I left home chickens were not available as parts, you bought a whole one and ate all of it, right down to boiling the carcase to make soup.
 
I must confess, although I am a foodie I had no idea that it was that easy to make bone broth. I've never thought of it.
I have a large slower cooker I wasn't using. Guess I know what I'm doing this weekend
 
I find the most inexpensive cuts of meat usually have the most flovour. It's just a matter of finding the right method to cook.
Mr Google is fantastic for this.
 
I'm glad I mentioned beef bones now, years ago the used to give a cup of beef tea to poorly people xx
 
I make bone broth from beef bones.

I also boil the chicken carcass to make stock. Round here I get bags of chicken skin so I can put them in my slow cooker and get the lovely chicken fat out to make tasty chicken broth as well.
 
After this thread, Butchers across the land are scratching their heads wondering why sales of Liver and Bones have gone through the roof!

Lamb's liver is good for any diet. So much nutritional goodness in it. I have it once a week with bacon.

The last batch of beef bones I got from my butcher was a disaster the bones he gave me were huge much bigger than my slow cooker and I ended up having to attack them with a hacksaw and took simply ages to get them small enough to go in the cooker.

Cooked them overnight and ended up with about an egg cup of broth will be more careful next time I attempt it.
