Sounds like survival food.

"Remember back in '03 when the winter was so bad that the ox died and we were so poor and so hungry we had to make a soup from the friggin' tail of it at the end? Damned stuff was clear and we had to bulk it up with artichokes to keep from starving to death. Man, sure am glad we survived that winter."
