"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

The original was made right here in Brunswick County,Va. I am two miles from the state roadside sign stating that fact. Just spending the holiday up at our place on beautiful Lake Gaston,NC/VA.
I can surely remember transitioning from my old 55 ford hot rod (which I thought was fast) to my new car purchase (68 Olds 442) which I still have. Took my new ride out for the first time, came to a stop sign and hit the breaks hard ( used to manual brakes) ...just about went through the windshield
On the other side, would literally SMOKE the tires from a dead stop. GREAT!
How about a set of flamethrowers on your car of the fifties or getting pulled over constantly by the cops for loud exhaust and "blue-dots".
We had a hoot in the fifties and sixties!
Thanks for the memories.
