My father loved Brunswick Stew… of course, his version was made with squirrel. (He was born in 1908 and grew up in what was then rural Independence, Missouri.) I’ve never tried it, because I always assumed the squirrel was required. A quick google turned up recipes with quite a variety of meats, from squirrel to rabbit to venison to chicken and pork. The vegetables above seem to be the linking ingredient.

Until this thread I was unaware that people had New Year’s traditional foods. I did, however, make homemade ice cream in my new ice cream maker last night. Yum.
