🎤 Context

Brunswick stew is a Southern dish that features a tomato base with beans, vegetables, and meat. Early Brunswick stews were often made with squirrel, rabbit, even opossum, basically whatever was available. These days pork, chicken, and beef are common. The original thinking was to use local ingredients and those you have on hand, which remains the same today.

Serve this Brunswick stew with cornbread, pickles, and coleslaw or a salad on the side.
