There are many recipes for Brunswick Stew but very few are the true Brunswick Stew. It should have a minimum of 3 kinds of meat, corn, potatoes, tomatoes, and sometimes a few other things. With the final product you should not be able to look at it and determine what is in it. It needs to be either cooked down to a mush or run through a blender. The consistency should be very thick and when chilled usually will not run out of its container when held temporarily upside down. Most "stews" that I have seen other than in northern GA, SC, NC, and TN have essentially been soup (usually beef). Here in my neck of the woods they call chucks of beef, potatoes, carrots, and some tomatoes Brunswick Stew. Not! Brunswick Stew was invented to dispose of left overs without wasting food. The combination of beef, chicken, and pork seems to be in most of the good recipes. I have also tasted some good stews with venison, rabbit, squirrel, quail, dove, pheasant and even duck. They are all good when prepared properly. Hot sauce is also an important factor in Brunswick Stew. My wife and I have been trying to nail down a good basic recipe, but so far our experiments have been lacking, although relatively good.
Life is short. Smile while you still have teeth.
