I belive it helped with iron and often just a good warm protein supply probably helped many ailments at the time. I guess it was probably a placebo of sorts at time.atomiclivinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10334968411944860385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984394636211554846.post-63621689960913906852008-12-04T02:24:00.000+11:002008-12-04T02:24:00.000+11:00MMM this sounds good too, I am glad I have found u...MMM this sounds good too, I am glad I have found u (thru ur comments on my blog thank you very much by the way) and my niece (who is only a few years younger than me and lives with us and is really more of a sister/friend, that explained then) is a vegetarin. It would be quite frugal for Mrs. B to make such a claim, for in her time, for anyone to attempt vegetarianism, they would have to be quite well off to have access to and to can alot of vegetables. It wasn't as if one could nip off to the super market and grab some lettuce and leeks, but I suppose if u were a farmer, tho even then,it would be very 'sinful'to not eat the animals u were raising for such a purpose. Have u seen the 1900 house? I thought it funny that they chose a family that tried to be vegetarian, as stated by the butcher it would be beef and stocks that would be most available and affordable to even an up and coming middle class house. Tho, today it is much easier and I have had my hand at it too, but I really do love meat and food to much to not enjoy all the varieties. Great blog keep up the good work!atomiclivinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10334968411944860385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984394636211554846.post-29736890259557898242008-12-02T16:26:00.000+11:002008-12-02T16:26:00.000+11:00to be honest, i'm not sure...but I'm sure it's far...to be honest, i'm not sure...but I'm sure it's far more nourishing that claf's feet broth - which is also recommended for invalids...<BR/><BR/>probably something about the meat goodness and marrow etc.weenie_elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11351069076057033043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984394636211554846.post-35094864277524831112008-12-02T15:52:00.000+11:002008-12-02T15:52:00.000+11:00Ahem...just out of curiosity...does the Calf's Fee...Ahem...just out of curiosity...does the Calf's Feet Stew actually DO anything for invalids?
