Brunswick stew, pretty danged good!

Brunswick STEW is not soup. It has corn & okra in it. It also has a thick consistency unlike soup that is watery.
Those of you who want to change the ingredients, then change them…..change them in what YOU make.
But please don’t say that it needs to be a certain way for everyone - depending on your taste or somebody else’s taste because you or they don’t like a certain ingredient.
These stews and dishes have been around and served longer than any of us have been alive. Some of them need to be kept the original ways they were intended, IMO.

I prefer it thick enough to throw on the wall and it sticks! Corn yes but Okra and Potatoes no for me.

My parents insisted "real" Brunswick stew contain meat from a hog head. They boiled the head in a pressure cooker until the meat fell off the bone then added it to the other ingredients using a hand turned sausage grinder.

Yes, we grew up poor, but we did not know it.

You want me to put some beans in it for you?

This type of meat stew is called "hash" in the midlands of SC and they serve it on white rice.

Best I've had was at a place named "Antley's BBQ."

we had a place in stickbridge in the early 90s that served what they called hash style and looked like that. theirs was really minced fine and too tomatoey.

I defy you to "find" an original Brunswick stew recipe.
