Burgoo is a stew, similar to Irish or Mulligan stew, often served with cornbread or corn muffins, one form of which originated in Kentucky. It is often prepared communally as a social gathering. It is popular as the basis for civic fundraisers in the Upland South.
==Etymology== The term is of uncertain origin, possibly from the combination of the Welsh words for "yeast" and "cabbage". The Oxford English Dictionary lists the origin as "Arabic: cooked, parched, and crushed wheat, ultimately [from] Turkish ".
