VIRGINIA STEW C IVIL WAR RECIPE
Posted by Edee 2 young chickens, cut up 1 quart Irish (white) potatoes (about 8-10) 1 dozen tomatoes 1 dozen ears roasting corn 1 onion, large Salt, pepper and butter to taste "Take two young chickens, cut them up, and parboil them; then peel and cook one quart of Irish potatoes; then peel and cut up one dozen large, ripe tomatoes; then cut the corn off one dozen soft roasting ears and mash it up; add to these one large onion, cut up fine. Put all in a stew pan and stew for two hours, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Extract the bones of the fowl; season with salt, butter and pepper, and serve hot. If, after a fair trial, you pronounce this an unpalatable dish, then your loyalty to the Southern Confederacy ought to be questioned." From Southern Recorder, September 2, 1862.
