> Consider the recent bone broth craze, for example.
Broths made with cartilage and bone are much more nutritious than muscle proteins. Humans have traditionally eaten as much of the animal as they could, for efficiency. Incorporating the types of amino acids in the rest of the animal in addition to the meat is more compatible with wellness.
Bone broth is a correction of a mistake, not a "craze".
- beat 10y agoNot knocking bone broth as a food - it's wonderful. But as the latest "magic ingredient", as Michael Pollan would put it? Yeah. Bone broth is a pain for restaurants to make. Doing it right takes very long cook times. It won't last as a trend, and people sure as heck aren't going to make it themselves, unless they're nerds (my daughter makes fish and duck bone broths at home, but she's a nerd - and half the time she cheats and pads it with hearts and livers to reduce the cooking time).
- pandaman 10y agoI have not seen straight bone broth restaurants but ramen shops had been a thing for decades and don't seem to go away. Ramen is based on a broth, which might not be only from bone (even though there is tonkotsu ramen too) but still takes dozens of hours to cook.
