Squirrel probably tastes okay, but I’d rather have chipmunks: preferably Alvin or Theodore!
Sorry to say, still sticking with the chicken and pork on this one.
Ms. Morgan, My name is M.J.Shirley. I have used your Real Mccoy recipe before. It is the best recipe I have ever found and has brought back so many memories. I Have lost my copy of the recipe. Please help.
I thought you lost it! Squirrel stew? Glad to know you used chicken! Got any ideas for a cool meal? Kinda hot out here for a stew, even Brunswick stew, sans squirrel.
Kim,
Check out my blog for a Richmond born and bred brunswick stew. This recipe has been in my family for eons. My mother remembers her granddaddy going out to hunt and bring something back to put in the stew. The main ingredient eventually evolved to chicken only with a piece of smoked ham or hog jowl.
My mom says true Brunswick stew has a stick of butter added at the last minute. A never ending controversy!!!
Love your blog!
Mary
Kim,
I am sitting here, late, with a glass of…oh wait…now I’m cool…
Your prose has me crying! Where is your cookbook filled with your recipes and diatribe?
And here I always thought Brunswick stew originated in Brunswick, New Jersey!
Silly me.
Celery and Lima beans? YUM! Glad there was no squirrel in there though 🙂
Celery belongs in beef stew, not brunswick! And yes, gotta have squirrel in Virginia style brunswick, ala “uncle jimmy”, the inventor…
