Burgoo

"They started the stew around 9 o"clock last night with the meats first and then they start adding the vegetables and all the other ingredients," he said.

The current burgoomeister, also affectionately called the "burgoomistress" by fellow volunteers, Raynette "Rae" of La Salle, had left for home before noon after being there for several hours to make the stew early Saturday evening.

The recipe is somewhat a secret but she"s made it known that she controls exactly what goes in so as to soothe jovial rumors of any additions of "unknown meats." The stew is her personal recipe. Cooks say the ingredients include about 250 pounds of choice beef, in addition to potatoes, carrots, cabbage, green peas, beans, split peas, celery, several spices and herbs. This year Jones added sweet Italian sausage and bacon. The spices and herbs were prepared in her La Salle kitchen earlier.

"This is our first year. I saw some jewelry on a friend at a baby shower I was at and I asked her where she got it. She told me she bought it at the Burgoo festival so we came to see if I could find some," said Kathy.

"We drove out here to see Starved Rock and the fall colors. It's about a two- hour drive and 150 miles," added Dan.

So 40 years later it"s estimated that between 20,000 and 25,000 people attend this annual autumn event, which serves as the society"s major fundraiser to supplement funds raised from membership dues and donations.

What was missing this year? "The bees. Too cold for them," said a man passing by.

Always good people running the place. They treat their employees right. You can tell because some of them have been there for years. The food is great and as far as the cleanliness, well, It looked like they kept the important stuff clean to me, it just looked a little worn by age , if you ask me. It's an old building, what do you expect. They always had the best roast beef in town and I miss going there once to twice a week for the BBC or Reuben or Moonlite Burghoo (sp?)

I sure hope the Bryant's get it going again. Good luck to them.

Maybe you never heard of it. Burgoo, pronounced BUR-goo. It’s a three-meat and vegetable stew (don’t forget the 100-proof Kentucky bourbon) out of a Kentucky tradition, historians tell us, that is often served as a part of celebrations.

Even in Naples, where it’s said it arrived with Kentuckians in the early 1900s.

The Naples Historical Society is refining the idea a bit by throwing a Burgoo Bash Cocktail Party to raise money for its efforts. A Naples Historical Society restored film circa 1930, “Bob West’s Burgoo,” will also be shown.

The burgoo party is scheduled 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Saturday with a dinner following at Palm Cottage, 137 12th Ave. S. Tickets are $200 and $500, the latter includes dinner. Information: 261-8164

Burgoo Medley - from Patriot Missy

1 lb. squirrel, cut into 1" cubes
1/2 lb. pork butt, cut into 1" cubes
1 1/2 lbs. chicken leg/thigh quarters
1 quart beef stock
1 quart chicken stock, plus 2-4 quarts more
1 C unpeeled red potatoes, medium diced
1 cup red onion, medium diced
1 C lima or fava beans
1 C diced green peppers
1 C diced, peeled carrots
1 C corn kernels
1 oz. Ancho chilies, toasted, seeded,
stemmed and cut into small pieces
1/2 tsp. cayenne
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
3/4 tsp. pepper
1 C sliced okra
4 large garlic cloves , minced
2 C canned chopped tomatoes
2 T cider vinegar
2 T lemon juice
3 T Kentucky Bourbon, more to taste
12 T Worcestershire Sauce
1 T hot sauce
1/2 C parsley, chopped

Cut excess fat from chicken legs, leaving skin intact. Combine squirrel, pork and chicken in large stockpot with beef and chicken stock. Bring to a full boil and skim any froth or gray foam from the top. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2 hours. Remove the chicken legs and let cool. Remove skin and bones, shred chicken meat and return to pot. Add potatoes, onions, beans, green pepper, carrots, corn chiles, cayenne, salt and pepper. Simmer another 3 hours, adding 2-4 quarts of chicken stock, as needed, to keep stew from getting too thick.

After 3 hours add okra, garlic, tomatoes, vinegar, lemon juice, bourbon, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Simmer another 6 hours, adding chicken stock if necessary. Add parsley after burgoo is cool.

Finished burgoo should have a soup, not stew consistency and must cook 12 hours. Can be started one day, cooled quickly and finished the next day. Refrigerate overnight to mellow the flavors and make the removing of fat easier

Burghoo

Yeah, I hear they were mighty tasty. Here's a story for you. At this one place I was working, this guy brought in what was called burghoo. He brought some for me one day. It was delicious. That night after work, I laid here with my gut splitting. I was in so much pain. The next day, the other guys at work really got on Todd, (the Burghoo guy) for giving me that stew. It had rabbit, squirrel, possum, and some other stuff I don't know all. It sure was good though, but that gamey meat didn't sit well with my tummy.

Burgoo

Politicians have always resorted to all sorts of ways of getting votes. One of the more colorful examples was the political barbecue. These vote-getting rallies were at their greatest during the 1840 presidential campaign of William Henry Harrison. The featured dish was burgoo, a hearty concoction of chicken, beef and vegetables, which took all night to prepare. As if to prove the food was more important than the speeches, the rally itself was often called a burgoo.

Gâteau à la chataîgne : le Burgou

Le Burgou est un gâteau artisanal composé de sucre, de beurre et de châtaigne, le tout décoré d’une feuille de châtaignier. Sa conservation est optimale, c’est donc un excellent gâteau de voyage.

Le « Burgou » vient du nom d’un bandit de grands chemins qui vivait dans la région et qui volait aux riches pour donner aux pauvres au 17ème siècle. Aujourd’hui il est vendu avec un petit livret racontant la légende du Vidocq limousin, et listant les 22 artisans pâtissiers qui le fabriquent.

This is particularly true of Diether's character, who starts off as a buffoon, wolfing down food at a party like a squirrel and even wrapping up some for himself to eat at home. This is an "entertaining" introduction for his character, but it also makes it difficult for viewers to take him seriously later in the film.
