Get A Man (Brunswick) Stew



Get A Man (Brunswick) Stew 






I was reading a book called  “Too Late For Angels”. The book mentioned this stew and it intrigued me. Unfortunately the book didn't provide a recipe for this stew . I decided to look it up and came across many receipes and the history of where this strew originated.
This stew is a traditional dish, popular in the American South. The origin of the dish is uncertain, and there are two competing claims as to the place in the South where it originated, in addition to some claim to a German origin.
I discovered the other name for this stew is Brunswick Stew. But I liked Get A Man Stew. I though it was funny besides who could resist right?
Most recipes claiming authenticity call for squirrel or rabbit meat, but chicken, pork, and beef are also common ingredients.
I also discovered  that this stew is very forgiving and various meats can be used, so  you can use whatever you have left over or have on hand when you are ready to make this stew. 
I believe this stew would be a great use at the end of the week from leftovers. 
Here is the recipe I chose to share with you and it does sound good!
