REMEMBRANCE OF GIBSON'S BRUNSWICK STEW.......CHANGED AND ENHANCED FOR MY CURRENT TASTES.....




Last night, I dreamt of 'Gibson's' sweet and spicy Brunswick Stew....and, this afternoon made my dream stew manifest in a white porcelain bowl.....My Version, who's 'secret sauce....pictured at right, above....is 'Brooklyn Dlhi's Tikka Masala simmering sauce.... is much 'better' than Big Bob Gibson's, I think..... As a kid, we always had a slice....or two....of one or another of Gibson's famous pies......mine, then, was lemon icebox.....to refresh one's palate after the savory stew......and reset those taste buds....still sending the Brunswick signals....for half an hour......Even now, I scrape my tongue with an antique ivory 'tongue scraper' after spicy foodfests.....who wants the lingering taste of onions and garlic, when sweetness is available?

Or.......some sauteed spinach.....presumably, for those mornings when one feels that ' Iron Tired Blood' and there's no Geritol in the medicine cabinet.....          and....for the 'bacon guilty':
