I'm trying to use up the Dataw dining assessment. Beef Stew was the
soup of the day. Okay, I was feeling adventurous. I'll take a bowl of
that.

Oh My God. That stew was horrific.

If you'd like to taste better beef stew, run out and buy a can of Dinty
Moore. Or a can of pretty much anything labelled "beef stew".

I filled out a comment card and told them what I think. There's a
reason I generally only order a burger or fish & chips. They don't seem
to know how to cook much else.

I did order a burger and fries. That's the one thing they seem to be
able to handle. I noticed the price at the time I ordered it was
$10.50. If I'd waited until 5:00 to order the burger it would have cost
$12.

A bowl makes sense. Definitely a soup.

Oh no, it's a stew again!

What a shame that the stew was so bad. Maybe you should give them credit
for having tried to do stew. I learned to like stew, and how to make
good stew, thanks to me wife, who is the braising queen. Fact is that
most stew I had as a kid was not very good. As much as I enjoy the
stews that my wife and I make, my paste experience is such that I can't
imagine eating it in a restaurant because I would not expect it to be good.

Any 'cook' who can't manage to make a decent stew should find another
occupation.

A decent stew can't be rushed, and I suspect that is the main problem
with most bad stews (unless they're using cheap and nasty
ingredients).

Really? Stew is easy enough to make, but really cut stew is a rare
commodity.

I would say so! This is the first time I've even heard of "cut" stew.

I always give little credence to a poster who proclaims something is bad,
awful, horrible, or the worst ever when they do not explain the reasons for
their opinion. In this case, I would assume it is cut up Kaiser Rolls
taking the place of dumplings.

Maybe because it tastes bad, which pretty much explains the reason.

Ahh yes, the dreaded spell checker.

Anyway, good quality ingredients and being in no hurry certainly helps
make a great stew or braise, IMO. I've certainly encountered bad stews
in my day too. Usually rushed with no fresh herbs or spices.

Yet another troll. I thought I was rather clear. It tasted bad. Would
not order it again. A can or jar of "stew" from a supermarket would be
just as good, if not better. How explicit must I be?!

Few restaurants in the US serve beef stew... people won't buy it
suspecting it's made with salvaged plate scrapings and often they'd be
correct. Stews are best made at home.
Last night this guy was stealing my birdseed... coulda been venison

That night, I stopped at McD's and bought 2 double cheeseburgers. $2.50
total after tax. I was happy with the meal and the price. :-D

Speaking of stews (ie the subject) Does anyone make chicken stew?

yeah, everybody's a troll. HOW did it taste bad? Too many carrots? Lack
of flavor? Too salty? No meat? Tastes like soap?

Forget it. You are the troll.

Hmm I got that far except for the herbs and celery. I use few herbs
because his lordship isn't keen

I had proper chicken stock. Really you are saying you don't have a recipes,

Most of the time I'd make chicken and dumplings, but I saved a chicken
stew from Cook's Country just this morning that I want to try soon.

Brunswick Stew
https://www.cookscountry.com/recipes...brunswick-stew

Serves 4 to 6

Our favorite kielbasa is Wellshire Farms Smoked Polska Kielbasa.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped fine
3/4 cup ketchup
4 cups water
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed
1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
8 ounces kielbasa sausage, sliced 1/4 inch thick
6–8 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup frozen lima beans
1/2 cup frozen corn

Instructions

1. Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add
onion and cook until *softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add ketchup and 1/4
cup water and cook, stirring *frequently, until fond begins to form on
bottom of pot and mixture has thickened, about 6 minutes.

2. Add chicken, potatoes, kielbasa, 6 tablespoons vinegar, 1 1/2
tablespoons Worcestershire, mustard, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1
teaspoon pepper, pepper flakes, and remaining 3 3/4 cups water and
bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until potatoes
are tender, 30 to 35 minutes, stirring frequently.

3. Transfer chicken to plate and let cool for 5 minutes, then shred
into bite-size pieces with 2 forks. While chicken cools, stir
tomatoes, lima beans, and corn into stew and continue to simmer,
uncovered, for 15 minutes. Stir in shredded chicken and remaining 1
1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire and cook until warmed through, about 2
minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and remaining vinegar (up to 2
tablespoons) to taste.

Serve.

Beef stew in my experience doesn't come with dumplings. At least, here
in my world.

As to restaurants serving it, there used to be..don't know if it is still doing
business..an Applewood's (not Applebee's) in OKC that had a Yankee Pot
Roast on the menu which was very like a really good beef stew. Everything
in that place was very good, especially the apple fritters the servers would bring around
while you were waiting for the appetizer or entree...fresh and hot, and sprinkled generously
with powdered sugar.

I thought Brunswick Stew was made traditionally with rabbit....am I thinking of
something else?

They used make it with a lot of different things, including squirrel -
but most people don't want to eat road kill. Chicken works for me and
I'll get around to making it faster than this version, which looked
very tasty to me too. http://addapinch.com/brunswick-stew-recipe/

Of course, proper homemade chicken stock!
I use general guidelines, based on availability - for example, if I
don't have leeks, I'll use onions. If no leeks and no onions, then
shallots. If I don't have quite enough chicken, I may add ham, or even
sausages.
My baking, on the other hand, is precise to the gram.

I never add new potatoes to stew, I prefer to cook them separately.

Hmm I had just thought with chicken stew being lighter .... but good point,
thanks)

I missed the baking point Yes! To the gram!!!

I will dig out my tea ball thingy! Good idea

Thanks Isn't it odd, after all these years, chicken stew is not something
I can remember making Always beef)
