Any meat we can pick off the head (it's in the freezer) will go into Callie's bowl. <i>Tête de porc</i> and <i>tête de veau</i> are things we see often here.<br /><br />Starman, many Brunswick Stew recipes call for significant amounts of ketchup and/or (sweet) barbecue sauce to be added to the tomatoes.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-71001857175661708382013-06-10T23:02:10.482+02:002013-06-10T23:02:10.482+02:00Why would a "restaurant" use ketchup in ...Why would a "restaurant" use ketchup in soup?

She made her Brunswick stew in a huge pot and used pulled pork in addition to chicken. The joke in the South is that we eat all of a pig but its squeak. I remember opening a huge pot on the stove on a day she was making Brunswick stew. She was not as far along as I thought. I came face to face with a pig's head, simmering away! She used the meat from the pig's face in the stew.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17672462879258564321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-11746855115937797802013-06-10T16:31:09.008+02:002013-06-10T16:31:09.008+02:00I've made burgoo before-it's tasty, but Br...I've made burgoo before-it's tasty, but Brunswick stew is more to my liking.<br /><br />Ken, I thought you'd like seeing your bbq sauce in that recipe.Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824964122794535252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-88612912109178657512013-06-10T16:14:58.535+02:002013-06-10T16:14:58.535+02:00Beaver, le cousin en a repris, mais je resterai di...Beaver, le cousin en a repris, mais je resterai discret regardant le nombre de fois.

As children, we used to say that "mum is stretching the recipe to feed 7 mouths" but afterwards we learned that she picked up that recipe when she was living in Madagascar. No ketchup on the islands at that time.The Beaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11457136925020206640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-54729294819018763702013-06-10T14:29:51.735+02:002013-06-10T14:29:51.735+02:00Believe it or not the Brunswick stew around here i...Believe it or not the Brunswick stew around here is sour- has lots of lemon juice I think. I'm thinking it comes from Brunswick, Ga. <br /><br />Lewis's family always had it on the fourth of July. A fellow made it outside in a big caldron and delivered it to his customers. He gave me the recipe, but left out parts that I had to keep asking for. Absolutely NO ketchup, or potatoes or okra...<br /><br />I'll look for the recipe and send it to you. Here's one from a trendy magazine that is more like what we have around here: http://gardenandgun.com/article/brunswick-stew-recipe<br />Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824964122794535252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-50670322406336973922013-06-10T14:21:48.234+02:002013-06-10T14:21:48.234+02:00Ken, does the term "camp stew" mean anyt...Ken, does the term "camp stew" mean anything to you? Our neighbor from Tennessee used to share her camp stew, a very thick stew she served on a slice of bread. The ingredients list was about the same as your Brunswick stew except she probably used chicken. Every ingredient was chopped very fine, about the size of a corn kernel.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03735892815379411306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-88565747001208868122013-06-10T13:42:39.648+02:002013-06-10T13:42:39.648+02:00Tim, ketchup in small quantities has its virtues. ...Tim, ketchup in small quantities has its virtues. I thought people in England were being encouraged to hunt and eat squirrels. This would be a good way to "fix" them.<br /><br />Ellen, it really was good. As CHM says, the okra really gives the dish a good taste, along with all the other vegetables.

I've had squirrel in Virginia before and I think rabbit is very close in texture and taste. In my opinion okra gives the stew its distinctive good taste. Unlike many people, I love okra. Thank you Ken for cooking this stew for me.chmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765675930520613520noreply@blogger.com
