Brunswick stew

Dixie hunter's simmer

Brunswick stew is a hearty Southern American stew traditionally made with meat—originally squirrel or rabbit, now typically chicken or pork—simmered with tomatoes, corn, lima beans, and other vegetables.

The dish is associated with barbecue culture in Georgia and Virginia, both of which claim to have originated it.

We served Brunswick stew alongside the pulled pork.
