"A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner. "Much obliged," said he, pushing the plate aside; "I am not accustomed to take my wine in pills."--Jean Antheleme Brillat-Savarin, The Physiology of Taste

Personal Notes:
Brunswick Stew, so named after the county in Virginia where it's thought to have originated, is a well-known stew throughout the South. It was originally based on squirrel or other game meats, but now mostly made with chicken, pork and beef. As is often the case with stews, what else is included depends on what you have at hand. Some essential ingredients are corn and tomatoes, though the Appalachian versions do seem to include one or more store bought sauces.
