mulligan stew
Leftover meat medley
Mulligan stew is a hodgepodge stew made from whatever ingredients are available—meat scraps, potatoes, vegetables, anything on hand.
The term originated among American hobos and tramps who pooled their scavenged food into a communal pot.
By extension, mulligan stew describes any miscellaneous mixture: The bill was a mulligan stew of unrelated provisions.
