Why: On The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks:

I'm guessing it's in the american south because it has brunswick stew, but I don't know why they're selling the feets of developmentally disabled pigs.
Answer: It is usually a tomato-based stew containing various types of lima beans/butter beans, corn, okra, and other vegetables, and meat. Most recipes claiming authenticity call for squirrel or rabbit meat, but chicken, pork, and beef are also common.

The More You Know: There is a hot debate about whether the stew originated in Brunswick, GA, or in Brunswick County, VA. Both claim to have been the first to put vegetables AND meat in the same pot. Yipes!
