What is Brunswick stew you ask?? Well, we just happened to find out for ourselves this weekend after a quick trip to Richmond. Fellow northerners can relate...It's a southern dish! Picture this...a giant witch's cauldron set back in the woods with 40 lbs of chicken, 50 lbs of potatoes (which we helped peel), 30 some cans of corn, countless costco size cans of crushed tomoatoes, butter beans (another southern fave), chicken hearts(blah), chicken gizzards (double blah) and whatever random bug or 3 happened to fall in the pot as no less than 2 people stood over the stew stirring with a wooden oar for approximately 5 hours. Oh, and water of course. As for the hearts and gizzards, we were told not to worry. They dissolve to the point you don't know their in there. Yum! The result... an evening of food and drinks to feed at least 150 with leftovers. Now maybe this is not typical of your Brunswick Stew Fests, but what about the Glover's is typical. It was quite a night. Oh yeah, I left out the 4 kegs and port-o-potty.
