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:

    The world will never be long without some good reason to hate the unhappy; their real faults are immediately detected, and if those are not sufficient to sink them into infamy, an additional weight of calumny will be superadded.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    The real, then, is that which, sooner or later, information and reasoning would finally result in, and which is therefore independent of the vagaries of me and you. Thus, the very origin of the conception of reality shows that this conception essentially involves the notion of a COMMUNITY, without definite limits, and capable of a definite increase of knowledge.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
