How Old Is The Oldest Perpetual Stew?
The oldest perpetual stew is said to have been started in 1836 at the Walnut Tree Inn in Shropshire, England, making it over 180 years old. The stew is made in a large pot with a variety of meats and vegetables, and new ingredients are added to the pot as the stew is served. The pot has never been fully emptied or cleaned, continuing the perpetual stew tradition.
