We have a new contender for the title of: Most Horrible Think I've Heard This Year. Don Boscoe, Beffy, Gray-ham, Beeki, and I are making dinner. I'm cooking. We're having beef stew. I looked at the side of the beef broth box and read the following:
In case you can't read it, it says:
Directions: DO NOT DILUTE.
USE IN YOUR FAVORITE RECIPES, OR
SERVE AS A PIPING HOT BEVERAGE. POUR
BROTH INTO SAUCEPAN. HEAT SLOWLY
UNTIL HOT, STIRRING OCCASIONALLY.

That's right. The box says that you can drink hot beef as a "beverage."
That's. Frickin'. Nasty.

Actually, broth is often recommended by doctors when one is having stomach problems. Also, when a woman is in labor, she is usually not allowed by the hospital to eat food (exhausting process with no food, smart, eh?) but they are often allowed "clear liquids" including broths.
Just pick the right one.

Beef juice is not clear. Nor does the thought help my stomach in the least.
Man: Oh waiter, I'm thirsty and my stomach is a bit queasy. Any recommendations?
Waiter: Well, we have water, ginger ale, Sprite, or beef juice. Any of those sound tempting?
Man: Beef juice, eh? Mmmmmmm... that should do the trick!

You OBVIOUSLY didn't grow up on the frontier my city-slickin' friend.
Back in the day, we ate beans and drank beef juice for breakfast lunch and dinner. Talk about some foul air though. Yeeeeee dawgies.
Also, you should try the new Vanilla and Cherry beef juice (extra ice) at Sonic. Yuuuummy.

Ohhh, Seth is funny. And I love the way you call it beef "juice", as if it was freshly squeezed from a rump roast. How do you say "juice of cow butt" in French so I can look for it on a menu?

...or is that shortened into au jus so we don't suspect anything?

This whole stream is gross. I don't want to even think about drinking broth, ever.
Again, I request you put a "Not suitable for reading while eating" headline on questionable topics. :)
