This is for real! I can remember being around when Woodrow and Fussell would make this.The meats were all cooked and ground the day before. It was an all day affair. Some items got changed as the years went by such as the hog heads. They got changed to pork roasts, etc. My memories of this stew are still strong and I promise you I have never had any as good as Woodrow could make. Tommy and I have made stew based on this recipe and it was always enjoyed. Thought you might get a laugh or two from this. You know at one time, Webster had a cannery in Milledgeville and he canned Brunswick Stew. After Tommy and I married, we were living in Texas and I (being a country girl from Arkansas) had never heard of Brunswick Stew. So Fussell mailed us some of Webster's canned stew.
