[MadImmortalMan]

Stock adds complexity but has a fairly neutral flavor. It's supposed to be used as a base for things like broths, soups and sauces. It's got very little fat in it when done right. Broth is more strongly flavored aka soup. You can use chicken stock to cook pork or duck dishes, for example, but you can't use chicken broth.

Ok so basically the opposite of what I said. 

[Pedrito]

Ok, so to make a good risotto you use stock, for thick soups you use broth.

Thanks

Burgoo! Just word itself sounds like there should be a song about it (and there is). If you are unfamiliar with the concept of burgoo, it's Kentucky's most famous stew, usually made for big gatherings (such as Derby Day) in huge kettles. Burgoo dates to before the Civil War and as legend has it, was invented by a French chef. Like a mulligan stew, it's sort of a empty-the-fridge recipe. Burgoos typically have at least three different meats, and plenty of vegetables such as corn, okra, and lima beans. Burgoo lovers differ on whether the stew ought to be cooked into a brown, undifferentiated mass, or whether you can still see individual ingredients. Some say burgoo is just a stew if you can't stand a spoon in it.

In this version of burgoo, we like to know what we're eating (pork, beef, or chicken), so it's not cooked as long as others. If you want more of a mélange, just cook the meat longer. As with most stews, burgoo is even better the second day. It's excellent as a Sunday dinner when you want lunches for the coming week.

Also meh (like I said about hot browns in the Derby thread).  I've had it at like 3-4 restaurants.  It's decent stew, but nothing amazing.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I went to Zaxby's for lunch today (not sure if they have those in Kalifornia but it's an "upscale" fast food chicken chain) and the cashier reminded me of Jaron.
