I can’t find it, and I’ve _looked_. Neither canned pork stock broth nor pork boullion cubes are anywhere in sight. This is unfortunate, as substituting chicken broth _will not do_ for the recipes I want to try it in. Don’t food companies make pork broth, or large grocers in California carry it? Has the stigmatization and demonization of pork as food gone so far that the broth got yanked from the shelves? It’s got to be one of those three things, I guess, but why?
