What do you do with veggies left from making soup stock?
| 
Sep 12 22:51 UTC 1996 |
I made up a big batch of soup stock. Basically, you take a bunch of
vegetables, boil them until they're mushy, then strain the vegetables out of
the stock and throw the vegetables away. I'm told the vegetables are pretty
tasteless at that point. But it seems to me like a big waste of vegetable
matter. I'd guess they'd go nicely on the compost heap, if I had a compost
heap.
Any other thoughts about what one could do with the vegetables from making
soup stock? Thanks!

Well, they should be about ready to rot quickly in your compost pile, if that
doesn't count as "throwing them away".

Ja, if I *had* a compost pile. Hm; maybe I should start one. The plants on
the porch would enjoy it, I would think.

Maybe you could start one of those "worm farms" instead.

Take them to the next concert/play you go to, then if you don't
like it, you have something to throw. >8)

Do you think they'd eat it? I've only ever given them crunchy veggies.
These were decidely non-crunchy. :)

So if they don't are you any worse off? I'd worry a bit more about the
effect of cooked veggies on guinea-pig physiology. (I'm sure a small amount
wouldn't hurt. I wonder about large helpings. But quite likely OK.)

mine eat lettuce (their favorite! :), tomatoes, carrots, celery
(sometimes :), and parsnips, that i know about. it's always worth a
try...the worst that's gonna happen is that they don't eat it.

Mine adore anything green and crunchy, from broccoli stems to parsley and
lettuce. They also like carrots and apples a lot. They'll eat almost any
fruit or vegetable: mushroom pieces, tomato chunks, banana pieces, melon
rinds etc. I find it hard to picture them eating cooked vegetables,
though, especially ones that were cooked 'til they were mushy. Dunno....
