There's no better comfort food on a cold rainy night than a hot bowl of stew. I'm thinking about cooking up a big pot of it the next time I have a free day.

11/22/2009 7:30:17 PM

i don't really like stew ~

11/22/2009 7:33:02 PM

11/22/2009 7:33:58 PM

don't be ~, stew is amazing. i took it for granted as a kid, now i'm digging into a quart i've been saving that my mom brought down fore me a couple weeks ago. i've got a pound of bbq that i may or may not defrost as well.

11/22/2009 7:36:15 PM

my parents make this shit like 3-4 gallons at a time

its amazing. i am looking forward to eating a couple quarts by myself over thanksgiving

11/22/2009 7:37:53 PM

Only decent place to eat where we live is Scotland Neck BBQ. They sell some killer brunswick stew and chicken & pastry and it comes with awesome hush puppies. We usually go there at least once a month and get a quart of both plus a bag of hush puppies.

11/22/2009 7:40:27 PM

you don't like Ralph's BBQ??

11/22/2009 7:41:59 PM

best thing to come out of Virginia

11/22/2009 7:41:59 PM

oh why, why oh why, did you have to mention hush puppies

Brunswick stew is amazing...I came very close to making some today but I didn't feel like messing with it

11/22/2009 7:49:14 PM

Players Retreat actually has some decent Brunswick Stew, and it comes with corn sticks. Who knew?

11/22/2009 7:57:13 PM

do you make it outside over a fire? i've only ever done it in a large cast iron pot over a large open flame. living in the city, i'm thinking i could probably get away with using charcoal, but a big fire isn't going to happen.

11/22/2009 7:58:32 PM

Sol, I meant where I live as in Scotland Neck. Ralph's has great BBQ, some of my favorite, but I prefer the other items from SN BBQ. Ralph's actual BBQ is the best though IMO.

i would pay someone $50 to bring me this right now

but i feel kinda like i might vom so maybe it isn't a good idea

11/22/2009 8:18:24 PM

i will deliver you however much mrs. fearnow's brunswick stew you want for $50

11/22/2009 8:19:21 PM

i'm thinking i could make a pretty kick-ass brunswick stew in the crock pot.

in fact, i think i'm gonna look for a recipe.

11/22/2009 8:19:25 PM

ah, that hit the spot. a bowl of stew and frank's hot sauce ftw.

11/22/2009 8:33:36 PM

anyone got a crock pot recipe for me???

Real brunswick stew is made with squirrel, not chicken. That is the only way it should be cooked. Before everyone starts getting all , it is actually much better with squirrel meat. Try it.

11/22/2009 8:40:14 PM

^^i know pulled chicken belongs in brunswick stew, but diced ham pieces?

11/22/2009 8:41:34 PM

real men only make their brunswick stew with possum

11/22/2009 8:42:23 PM

i've had it with squirrel, but its been 20+ years. i don't have fond memories of squirrel stew, but forsythe's is the bomb

^^i don't think i've had it with cubed ham per se, but some pork shoulder or ham hock will fix it right up. that recipe could use some potatoes too.
