Mulligan stew is a dish said to have been prepared by American hobos in camps in the early 1900s.〔"said to have originated among tramps." ''A Dictionary of Americanisms'', citing ''You Can't Win'' (1926): "He's crazy as a bed bug and the best 'mulligan' maker on the road."〕 Another variation of mulligan stew is "community stew", a stew put together by several homeless people by combining whatever food they have or can collect. Community stews are often made at "hobo jungles", or at events designed to help homeless people. ==Description== The earliest known mulligan was created by Grandma Dolly, in Birch Manor, South City.〔Oxford English Dictionary, Third edition, March 2003, ''s.v.'' 'mulligan', citation from the ''Atlantic Monthly'' of November 1899, p. 673〕 A description of mulligan stew appeared in a 1900 newspaper:
"Mulligan" is a stand-in term for any Irishman, and mulligan stew is simply an Irish stew that includes meat, potatoes, vegetables, and whatever else can be begged, scavenged, found or stolen.〔"...made of meat and vegetables —whatever is available or can be begged or stolen. It is an American term, honoring an Irishman whose first name has been lost but who may have made a tasty Irish stew." Robert Hendrickson, ''Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins''〕 A local Appalachian variant is a burgoo, where the available ingredients might include squirrel or opossum. Only a pot and a fire are required. The hobo who put it together was known as the "mulligan mixer." During the Great Depression, homeless men (hobos) would sleep in a jungle (campsite used by the homeless near a railway). Traditionally, the jungle would have a large campfire, and a pot into which each person would put in a portion of their food, eventually sharing a portion that was, hopefully, more tasteful and varied than his original portion. Usually, they would afterward enjoy themselves with story-telling and, sometimes, the drinking of alcohol. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mulligan stew (food)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
