Well I usually don't use commercial vegetable stock because it usually has some kind of tomato paste like ingredient, which makes it unusable for all sorts of recipes. This time I looked at WP's ingredients and no MSG, no tomato paste and minimally processed. It sounded worth a shot.

I really liked the flavor. Now I know you purists will say that nothing can beat the homemade thing, but I don't do stocks very often. Between time and inspiration other things take priority... and I have made them so I know what I'm missing. Anyway this had a nice deepish flavor and hearty base. It will definitely become a pantry item at this house.

Now on the subject (I am new enough to have missed the thread if there is one), what are some commercial stocks that can pass in a pinch. Or which ones do you stay far, far away from? I am talking meat, poultry, veg and fish.

Bliss.
