Burgoo
Didja know Burgoo is a term used for many types of stew made from a mixture of ingredients?

In particular, burgoo is a traditional Kentuckian stew, served commonly at the Kentucky Derby. It is a hodge podge of ingredients and most recipes call for a minimum 24-hour cook time. At the Derby it is served from massive iron pots into paper cups with crackers. Some people use the saltine crackers to eat the whole cup of burgoo like a dip. Churches in parts of Kentucky use burgoo much like other churches across the nation use chili for fundraising. -- info thanks to Wikipedia
