- Here is the recipe, as sent to Dan last night.
- No, it doesn't literally take all day (or all night), but it does take
- more than an instant. :-)

- This is another Southern tradition it seems. According to the January
- 1991 issue of _Southern Living_, "Since the turn of the century, Brunswick
- County, Virginia, and Brunswick, Georgia, have firmly stood their ground,
- spoons and forks drawn in battle. . ..Since Georgia and Virginia threw
- their pots into the ring years ago, Brunswick County, North Carolina,
- occasionally added fuel to the fire. . ..
-
- This recipe is from Virginia:
-
- 1 (3 pound) broiler-fryer
- 2 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 small onion, quartered
- 7 cups water, divided
- 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen baby lima beans
- 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen whole kernel corn
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 (28 ounce) cans whole tomatoes, undrained and chopped
- 1 (8 ounce) can whole tomatoes, undrained and chopped
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon red pepper [paprika can be substituted]
- 10 saltine crackers, crumbled
-
- Combine broiler-fryer, celery, onion, and 5 cups water in a large Dutch
- oven or stock pot; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 1
- hour. Remove chicken, celery, and onion from broth, reserving broth in
- Dutch oven; discard celery and onion. Cool chicken; skin, bone, and
- coarsely chop meat.
-
- Add chicken, lima beans, and remaining ingredients, except saltines, to
- broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, about 4 1/2
- hours or until desired consistency, stirring often. Add remaining water
- as needed. Add cracker crumbs, and cook an additional 15 minutes. Yield:
- 3 1/2 quarts. [I like it thick, so usually don't add the extra water.]
-
- I hope you'll try it. It really is delicious.
