Instead of calling Louisville Derby City, just maybe we should call it Burgoo City. BURGOO is a spicy, 3-meat vegetable stew that is the Derby food. Old timers would toss whatever they bagged in a huge kettle over an open fire. West Kentucky likes mutton. I usually use country ham, stewing beef, and chicken. Typical veggies would be potatoes, onions, corn, lima beans, okra, Spicy: hot sauce, your choice of peppers, garlic, Worcester sauce. And don’t forget a nip of Bourbon! Call me when it’s ready!
