A trip to the low country of South Carolina to visit my cousin and his wife.
Frogmore Stew is a hearty one-pot dish that is always a crowd-pleaser. When Frogmore Stew was first cooked in the 1960s, Frogmore was a little hamlet on St. Helena Island, near Beaufort, South Carolina. In the 1980s, however, the postal service abolished the name Frogmore. That changed the name of the popular dish to Lowcountry Boil or Beaufort Stew-except, of course, among the proud (and peeved) residents of Frogmore.
