Brunswick stew

Brunswick stew is a tomato-based stew generally involving local beans, vegetables, and originally small game meat such as squirrel or rabbit, though today often chicken. The exact origin of the stew is disputed. The states of Virginia and Georgia both claim its birth, with Brunswick County in Virginia and the city of Brunswick in Georgia claiming it was developed there. It may have originated earlier in some form in the city of Braunschweig in the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg in today's northern Germany. Recipes for Brunswick stew vary greatly, but it is usually a tomato-based stew, containing various types of lima beans (butter beans), corn, okra, and other vegetables, and one or more types of meat. Originally it was small game such as squirrel, rabbit or opossum meat, but chicken has become most common. Chicken and rabbit are more common in Virginia, pork in Georgia, and, though not for as long, Eastern North Carolina–style pulled pork barbecue.
