What is Brunswick Stew? Guess I need to work out a recipe.

That sir is a question much along the lines of "fat cap or fat cap" down? Or "to slather or not to slather"...

There will be plenty of responses on what Brunswick Stew is and where it originated from.
 
Probably would need to have two competitions, Georgia Brunswick Stew and then everybody else's, since the only true brunswick comes from Georgia. :biggrin:
And I'm in!

First and foremost it's NOT a competition. Not a throwdown. Just some fun with the opportunity for some smack talk, which has officially started...
 
Well I,ve heard of it, but I don't know what it is...If I can figure out the ingrediants I'll give it a go!

I don't see squirrel or raccoon in your ingredient list. I think you may be disqualified. :biggrin:
 
Brunswick stew is one of those dishes like chili, there are a million different variations depending on the region. In Georgia, just about every BBQ joint will have their version of brunswick, and I've tried alot of them.


There are usually only about 3 ingredients in Georgia brunswick stew that are pretty common to all variations:
  1. Some type of BBQ meat, usually pulled pork, sometimes chicken.
  2. Tomato, either with ketchup, tomato sauce or diced tomatoes.
  3. Corn.
After that, it's going to vary considerably. Most BBQ places will also add their own BBQ sauce.
Some people use butterbeans, but I think they have been used more on home versions then the brunswick you'll find in BBQ joints, I've rarely seen it.

I'll post my own recipe soon with some pics, it is pretty easy to make and a good way to use up some BBQ you have lying around.
And landarc, you won't find squirrel or racoon meat in any brunswick, you need to stop getting your info from wikipedia. :-D
