Brunswick stew is a comfort in this cold weather. I wanted to use up
some smoked pulled pork, so I decided to make my first Brunswick stew. I
roughly followed the recipe below and was happy with the results. It did
need a dash of hot sauce at the table. We ate it with cornbread for
dinner. I brought leftovers and some Saltine crackers to school for
lunch. It made so much that I froze half the batch.

I've never used ground meat in a stew. Have you?

I've had Brunswick Stew a few times but it was always made with beef.
I've never heard of it made with pulled pork. It might be a good thing
though, just never had that.

I never have. For any beef stew, I always use bite-size chunks of
beef, seared before adding to the stew.

Me neither. To me ground meat is something one uses when making burgers,
chili or meat sauce for pasta etc.

I fancy the chicken version - ideal way to use up leftover roast chicken
IMHO. (I'm only feeding four people, not a whole football team). <g>

Anyway, I've read that the original meat used was squirrel; would it be
safe to assume that would have tasted somewhat 'gamey'? If so, there are
plenty of guinea fowl around here that might make good "Brunswick" stew
too ;-)

It's good but like many things, has many recipes and variations at
least in the south. Here it's made with chicken and shellfish. Back
along the Smokey Mountains (where I come from) it's apt to be chicken
and squirrel or possum (grin).

Most areas use chicken and add a second meat to it. Pork is not at all
uncommon as a second meat. Don't expect the canned versions to be even
remotely similar this time.

There seems to be a lot of different Brunswick stew recipes out there
and I tried one of them a few months ago, but didn't like the results.

The recipe I tried used regular meat, but I was unimpressed. Maybe
this one is better.

I consider chili a stew; I've made it with ground beef/ground pork.

It's as hot as Hades here at the moment, but it sounded good so I made
some last night anyway (chicken version). Family really enjoyed it. And
yes, we only managed to eat half of it, but it will probably get gobbled
up today. Thanks for the inspiration.

I kinda wish it was here too. Weather for tomorrow is supposed to be a
high of 23F, then up to 7 inches of snow starting later in the day.
arrghh!

An interesting fact too. She's my 4th ferret and she is the only one
that will sleep next to me. Ferrets like to sleep in their secret
places. I call them their secret forts. hheheh Mia does too. Her
secret fort is underneath my dresser and she's taken many plastic bags
from the kitchen to make a nice *snuggily nest* under there.

However, sometimes she will fall asleep in my arms. Other times she
will climb up on my bed and fall asleep next to my leg. No other
ferret has trusted me that much so it's pretty cool when she does
that.

Gary, that's the end of your sex life...you'll never find a partner
who wants to share the bed with your ferret.

OK fine, but weasels are devious and tend to bite, isn't that a concern?

Creatures that bite and are devious make transitional bed partners at
best...

I must have a defective "weasel." heheh Only play bites here. None of
mine have ever bitten but then they are raised with no violence or
even yelling at them. I have earned their trust. Even when they make a
mess (they like to push things off of tables, shelves, etc), I never
get mad. I just pick them up and say, "Are you being a ferret again?"

Do you have a dog or cat? They *could* bite you even worse than a
ferret could but a loving pet never does.

Janet, I sleep with a fan on, the tv on, and the bedroom light beside
my bed on so I can read during the night (on and off). No woman would
put up with all that nonsense even without the ferret underneath the
blanket issue. heheh If I ever get married again, I suppose it will
have to be separate bedrooms.

As far as my sex life, I think I've reverted back to virgin status if
that is possible. lol
