This recipe makes 1200 gallons...in case you want to freeze some for later, I guess. Includes "600 pounds of lean soup meat (no fat, no bones)." No kidding.

"Burgoo is literally a soup composed of many vegetables and meats delectably fused together in an enormous caldron, over which, at the exact moment, a rabbit's foot at the end of a yarn string is properly waved by a colored preacher whose salary has been paid to date. These are good omens, which fortify the burgoo." - Carey's Dictionary of Double Derivations

Maybe they aren't big fans of corn in Kentucky. Wait...they ARE big fans of corn in Kentucky -- but they prefer it distilled to burgoo-ed
