Hey how do we substitute for squirrel meat in a Brunswick’s stew squirrel meat which along with things like Pam and rabbit or what this D is traditionally made with but I think we can get pretty close by using pork and chicken but whether you make this as shown or your

Starts kidnapping squirrels from parks and backyards. Attempts to explain to the police and neighbors that I'm making a stew with them
Ewww
We have used possum and squirrel and bith are delicious!
Brunswick stew is sooooo good 🤤
Ohio squirrels taste very similar to turkey dark meat
Keep the squirrel, hold the lima beans
Thats not pure Brunswick stew, it's Soup. Its too chunky. Real Brunswick stew is finely grounded up. I know, because my uncle had his own award winning BBQ restaurant in Georgia. And i would help him make it as a kid. And it takes a LONG time to make.
FOOD SHOULD NEVER BE CALLED "COMFORT FOOD"…THAT GIVES FOLKS THE IDEA ITS OK TO TURN TO FOOD FOR COMFORT. TURN TO GOD!❤
Squirrel!
This made me immediately think about the squirrels that dig holes all over our yard. 😂 But if they 'disappeared', more squirrels would just move in. We have acorns, and I believe a hickory tree that produces nuts in the back. What vermin could resist such prime real estate?
Thought it was a Columbo reference
So happy to have been born, privileged! In the rural areas 🥲 gives you humbleness!! Also Forrest squirrels are DELICIOUS💯💯🇺🇸🦅
I'm sure my neighbours won't notice their cat went missing
Mom made it in the 60s and 70s using only chicken and called it "chicken slum gully" – weird huh? I liked it but always picked out the Lima beans – still hate them today!🤢
Squirrel? That’s so sad 🙁
This must be a depression era stew
Gross
Hey Chef John – you should put together a video on Brunswick Stew using the traditional meat… lots of discussion now in the UK about the invasion of grey squirrels and how they are driving the native red squirrels' population down. Local governments are encouraging people to harvest greys for food ( the UK is still suffering the results of brexit and inflation).
In the South, this is more commonly a way to use up leftover BBQ pork. I’m sure sure anything else laying around gets thrown in but I don’t think squirrel is nearly as common as pulled pork.
Blending meat is definitely delicious. Putting chicken in anything makes it taste better
I don’t know if I could eat a squirrel 🐿️ 😮. But it probably tastes nutty. I’ll show myself out.
🙅🏻♀️ I’m from the South and my dad is pushing 90 and he only makes this with pork. He’s from the country too and this is the first time I ever heard someone say this was traditionally made with squirrel or possum.
Does squirrel taste like chicken?
Tradionally, in the South, churches and social clubs made this during hunting season. Squirrel, rabbit, possums, raccoons and small game birds and ducks were used, along with corn, potatoes, lima beans, okra and tomatoes and onions. Lots of black pepper. Cooked in huge cast iron pots over a slow burning fire for hours, stirring with a boat paddle. It was supposed to be thick enough to eat with a fork. A side of hush puppies, or fried corn cakes as a side. Now I use a combination of chicken, pork and beef, cooked in chicken stock, plus the standard vegetables. I add catsup, a little sugar, Worcestershire, a little liquid smoke, careful, it's strong, and lots of pepper.
When I was young my Father raised rabbits in the back yard in cages. We ate them and sold them.
Red dead redemption 2 taught me you can hunt and eat any wildlife and eating something like a squirrel is the norm in the old west lol
Ozark Caviar. Go ahead, I dare you to give it s try, soon.😅😅😅😅😅😅
How mean.
I can't imagine eating a tree rat.
👏👏
Fun fact: Older versions of the Joy of Cooking included many game recipes, among them squirrel and small birds
BBQ place I've been to uses smoked brisket in their Brunswick stew. It's pretty great.
I made this. It was friggin' delicious.
Okay, first time EVER i need to leave a "negative" comment
For all you americans: USE RABBIT. Its absolutely delicious, healthy, lean, and the original version of this recipe.
exchanging rabbot for CHICKEN of all things should be considered a carnal sin
Wow! I worked at a BBQ place in San Jose,Ca several years ago that serves Brunswick stew. But I don't think they use those little critters
When i lived in Brunswick for 1 year, i had this stew at more than a few restaurants. It was always made differently, and always delicious. Its perfect with pork and chicken, or chicken by itself, or pork by itself.
USE DOMESTIC RABBIT, DUCK, AND PORK.
The little Chip'n'Dale sound effects just add that little twist to my nausea..😊
