Why I Love This Recipe

Making beefstock was quite common in the Netherlands untill the seventies of the last century. The recipe for the stock comes from an old cookbook my grandmother had. It was issued by a big firm that delivered groceries to the small shopkeepers back then. The book is probably published between 1925 and 1930. It gives a nice picture of the way people cooked and what was eaten at the time. The eggs in it, is because in China a once had noodlesoup for breakfast in a street restaurant in Yinchuan. It had some meat and a poached egg on top. And I loved it.

Making beefstock yourself is easy, but time consuming. So if you need the stock to be quick, take some ready made.
