An absolute rarity in the realm of America’s – and the South’s - culinary heritage. Folklife documentary filmmaker, Stan Woodward, stumbles onto a small village on the border of Lunenburg and Brunswick Counties in Southside Virginia and records a farm stew cooked and sold by the Ruritan club in Dundas that ends up being closest to the 1828 Brunswick stew recipe originated a few miles away. So local is the stew that people 20 miles from Dundas have never heard of it, yet up to 500 people line up twice a year to buy this “delicacy" suited to the tastes of those who have roots here.
