I only recently discovered Brunswick Stew and made it twice now. It is delicious and there are dozens of types I am going to try in the future. Georgia and Virginia both lay claim to the birthplace of this stew. Brunswick stew was originally made with squirrel and other small game meats. In the short time I have been learning about Brunswick stew I think the main differences between Georgian and Virginian varieties is potatoes in Georgian and lima beans in Virginian styles.

I have made a Virginia style both times. I do not think the potatoes appeal to me based on the flavor profile. Chicken Pork or combination can be used as the protein. I made this yesterday using left over beer braised pork tenderloin. The first time I made it with leftover slow cooker bbq pork butt. It is great use for left over pork.
