One is chicken, the other is ham (including the rinds that I trim off) and the last is beef. Whenever I peel or slice off parts of veggies that I don't use, they go into one bag or another. When the bags are full I make stock by leaving a full pot to simmer for a few hours. The ham and beef bones go to the dogs after I strain the broth. I'm sure most canuckers do the same but maybe some newbies don't. Believe me, with the cost of broth in stores, you *need* to make your own. Besides which, store broth is so salty.
