The last thing I wanna do is start a "Stews Wars" “May the pork be with you.”

But I found the below info…………………………I personally couldn’t care less who did it first or where, but I love the stuff. In mine please hold the peas, butter/lima beans and save the okra fer de Gumbo.


"Brunswick stew was named for Brunswick County, Virginia, where in 1828 Dr. Creed Haskins of the Virginia state legislature asked for a special squirrel stew from "Uncle Jimmy" Matthews to feed people attending a political rally. Brunswick, Georgia residents claim their stew is the original. It's just as likely the stew - at least a very similar version - was created much earlier. With the original ingredients of game (usually squirrel) and corn, and long simmering over an open fire, it's typical of early native dishes."

"Brunswick stew is now most commonly made with chicken, or a combination of several meats, which might include rabbit, beef, and pork. Onions, corn, and tomatoes are usually included, and many recipes call for lima beans, peas, and/or okra."


But hey, make it anyway ya like it. It's like Chili, vegetable soup, etc There is no "one" way to make it. IMHO
