Forget to to add red beans to Chili con Carne?

Honestly you're not wrong. The only veggies that should be in Brunswick stew are onions, corn, tomatoes, and maybe some kind of pepper.

I used to love Vandy's bbq in Statesboro until I ordered their Brunswick stew and they gave me the afformentioned veggie soup with meat. Haven't been back since.

Meh, my philosophy is that you can't have a barbecue restaurant this close to Brunswick, GA and not make real stew.

Hhhmmm.....you guys must have dumbed down the recipe after you brought it down from Brunswick County, VA. There should definitely be lima beans in there. But it should be much thicker than any vegetable soup. And pulled chicken, not pork.

Quote:Brunswick County is best known as the origin place for Brunswick stew. The original Brunswick stew, according to Brunswick County historians, was created in 1828 by an African-American chef, Mr. Jimmy Matthews, also referred to as "Uncle" by some locals. As the story goes, Dr. Creed Haskins of Mount Donum on the Nottoway River, a member of the Virginia State Legislature, took several friends on a hunting expedition. While the group hunted, Mr. Matthews, Haskin’s enslaved camp cook, hunted squirrel for the evening meal. Mr. Matthews slowly stewed the squirrels in butter, with onions, stale bread and seasoning in a large iron pot. When the hunting party returned, they were reluctant to try the new, thick concoction, but one taste convinced them to ask for more.

Ah, never heard of Brunswick county, VA and always heard it came from Brunswick, GA. In either case, there should be no beans of any kind in authentic stew. You're right on the thickness part and chicken though.

I am pretty sure its from Georgia.

I like mine in a huge outdoor cast iron kettle slowly made over a fire/coals with rabbit, squirrel, chicken, lexington-style bbq, butter beans, corn and a tomato-based stew influenced by lexington style bbq sauce. I don't know if it's real, but it's real good.

Both counties claim to be the home of Brunswick Stew. I've had some in Charlotte that was as you say. It was OK I guess, oversalted and just kind of boring. Like chili with no beans.

This is Brunswick Stew:



I don't know what you call this:

Now that I'm doing my research, it seems like both places claim to be the original home of the stew. Brunswick, GA has a pot on display with a plaque claiming it was the pot that the first ever Brunswick stew was made in.

According to the interwebz, Virginia recipes for the stew tend to use more vegetables and only chicken while Georgia recipes use both chicken and pulled pork and more of it.

Interesting stuff. I'm learning a lot today.

Yep, I was surprised the first time I had the GA version because there was nothing in it. If it wasn't oversalted it would have been OK.

Haha, you didn't even know the debate you were bringing up when you first posed the question.
