currently enjoying a delicious bowl of stew. how about some equally delicious stew facts?
Please remember that I never, ever do requests and thus will not give you any stew facts like these:
Stew is the oldest known cooked meal, predating not only the invention of cooking, but also fire, water, and the act of eating.
Stew was once thought to have been made by cooking ingredients in a fluid that would then be served together, but we now know that such myths are false, as it really comes from tin cans at supermarkets and corner stores.
Stew is named after Stewart C. Eintopf, who found the first stew of the modern era in a pot on a Pacific island. The stew had a local name and recipe, but Eintopf simply took the idea, named it after himself, and made a similar looking stew with no spices or other flavorings. He is still considered the greatest man in British culinary history, despite not being a cook, not being British, and not being a historical figure, he will be born in 2043.
Turtles are technically stew before they are made into turtle stew, as they come in their own affixed bowls.
