    Those Asian stocks often contain other ingredients not found in
    American broths. And you find those weird ingredients listed on the
    label. Coriander, lemon grass, and star anise are some of the ones
    I've encountered with no clue to that on the label.

    Larger sample on Google. It's like flipping a coin 11 times. There's
    a huge change that 8 out of 11 times it will be the same result. But
    flip it 847,000 times and see what happens.

    Historically, which is what Kent loves to quote, Stroganoff did not
    contain beef broth (or mushrooms).

    It still rated a bunch of them. I would be surprised if a supermarket

    retail but not in supermarkets that I've seen, referring to Redi-base)

    I should get that ham. Sometimes I want to make beans, but I don't
    have a hock in the freezer. When I shop for Knorr, I automatically
    reach for the tomato one and haven't really paid attention to what
    else they have. I wonder if the shrimp and seafood would aggravate
    my husband's gout? He avoids that stuff in RL. I watched an old
    Rachael Ray 30 minute meal the other week where she used a liquid
    seafood stock in a box, which I've never seen on the grocery store
    shelves. Have you ever seen it?

    We haunt the Mexican markets a fair amount. Their bouillon products are
    invariably Knorr, which I also feel to be of good quality. I'm going to try
    the Knorr beef again. What's interesting, I think, is that in the Mexican
    markets you find Knorr, ham, pork, shrimp, seafood, and other bouillon
    granules. The ham granules are good. I use them in ham and pea soup. They
    also come large containers, so you can always have it on hand and use just
    what you want. Throw in a 1/2 tsp more, etc.

    Aren't those all liquid stock in a box? I only have two choices for
    stock in a box: Swanson's and Organics. I use Organics because their
    salt content per 1 cup serving is significantly less than Swanson's...
    570 mg per serving vs Swanson's 800+.

    Honestly, I bought all of the "better than" flavors and was surprised
    at how pedestrian they are. I'd rather use the jar of Knorr granules
    (Caldo de Tamate is my favorite) that I buy at the Mexican market.
    They have just as much meat/veg flavor and I can keep them on a
    cupboard shelf instead of taking up valuable refrigerator space.
