Well it's missing the lima.........wait for it........beans...... :-)

That’s just crazy talk. Limas are a stand alone or succotash only bean.

We were talking about Brunswick Stew. However chili is like pizza, salad, soup and so forth. Put whatever suits you in it.

My wife made a slow cooker crock pot white chicken chili the other night. Beans included. It was delicious.

Don’t want limas in brunswick stew either. That’s another dish people have screwed up being trendy.

While it don't have to be, my grandmother cooked it in a huge iron pot :

using whole hogs' head & chicken, tomatoes, salt, pepper, sugar, vinegar, corn and sometimes diced potatoes but you'd never know exactly what was in it because everything was always ground up using one these:

The grinder was permantently mounted to a homemade oak table that was framed up against a huge water oak tree where the cook fire and the wash pot were always located.

Yankee or North Floridian "brunswick stew" (not I will NOT capitalize the letter B for this stew) is to be avoided at all costs. It's basically vegetable - pork soup and God did not intend for lima beans to be put into real stew.

Agree you might be the only one eating it...In my humble opinion Limas, Okra, and potatoes have not business in Brunswick Stew...I would guess I have made up hundreds of Upload Pictures

gallons in my life time..Sometimes up to 60 gallons at a time..At my last Great Atlanta Chili Cook off, I gave out 10 gallons of samples in those small pill cups, they give you in the hospital..It all all gone in less than 30 minutes..Fun times..
