You may already be familiar with Brunswick Stew but I wasn't until I spent a few years in the Carolinas. (While there I assumed the screen name of Ray Earl Hands. On my home page I listed a Moon Pies and RC Cola as my favorite food.
During Rush's first couple of years he had the hickory house waitress' "hah yoooo" greeting down pat, lol.)
Brunswick Stew is very good and like chili has a richness of history, flavor, variety, and obsessive, opinionated fans.
I've never tried my hand, too many ingredients and too much process for my brute force (yet still subtle and succulent) approach.
I detect from your recipes a patient, nuanced (not in the Kerry sense), and refined commitment to your cookery.
Have a look, it just might be up your alley.
