Title: Brunswick stew
Description: Image of a twenty-five-gallon iron pot outside the coastal town of Brunswick, Georgia, which bears a plaque declaring it to be the vessel in which Brunswick stew was first cooked in 1898. The pot sits on a concrete slab.

Brunswick stew belongs to a family of southern stews, its closest relative perhaps being Kentucky burgoo. Virtually any vegetable and seasoning can be added to the requisite meat, corn, and tomatoes traditionally found in Brunswick stew, but onions, lima beans, and potatoes commonly make an appearance.
