Did you know there was no "stew" before the 18th Century?

OK - there was stew, it's just that it went by all sorts of other names.  While the concept of stew is old, the word "stew" itself is only about 300 years old.  I know I was shocked as well.

And then next week I'll tell you about all the regional styles of stew that are going to influence our national cuisine on into the future.
(Chicken & dumplins anyone?)
