Mulligan Stew (food) - Additional Information

Additional Information

Another iteration of Mulligan stew is "Community Stew", a stew put together by several homeless people by combining whatever food they have or can collect. Community stews are often made at "Hobo Jungles" or events designed to help homeless people.

Originally, during the Depression, the homeless would sleep in "Jungles". Traditionally, the "Jungles" would have a large campfire and pot into which each person would put in a portion of their food, thus giving each person a portion that was, hopefully, more tasteful and nutritious than his original portion.

Usually, they would afterward enjoy themselves with story-telling and, sometimes, the drinking of alcohol.

Famous quotes containing the words additional and/or information:

    When I turned into a parent, I experienced a real and total personality change that slowly shifted back to the “normal” me, yet has not completely vanished. I believe the two levels are now superimposed, with an additional sprinkling of mortality intimations.
    Sonia Taitz (20th century)

    On the breasts of a barmaid in Sale
    Were tattooed the prices of ale;
    And on her behind
    For the sake of the blind
    Was the same information in Braille.
