KENTUCKY BURGOO
This recipe makes 1200 gallons"Kentucky Burgoo" is the celebrated stew which is served in Kentucky on Derby Day, at Political Rallies, Horse Sales and other outdoor events. This recipe is from a hand written copy by Mr. J. T. Looney, of Lexington. Mr. Looney is Kentucky's most famous Burgoo-maker and it was for him that Mr. E. R. Bradley named his Kentucky Derby winner "Burgoo King".
Mr. Looney uses a sauce of his own in the preparation of this truly-amazing concoction.
Mr. Looney is invited to all parts of the country to prepare Burgoo for large gatherings. This is not a dish to be attemped by an amateur though it can be prepared in smaller quantities. It is a very picturesque sight to see Mr. Looney, aided by his many assistants, preparing this dish over open fires and huge kettles which are kept simmering all night.
600 pounds lean soup meat (no fat, no bones)
200 pounds fat hens
2000 pounds potatoes, peeled and diced
200 pounds of onions
5 bushels of cabbage, chopped
60 ten-pound cans of tomatoes
24 ten-pound cans puree of tomatoes
24 ten-pound cans of carrots
18 ten-pound cans of corn
Red pepper and salt to taste
Season with Worchestershire, Tabasco, or A#1 Sauce
Mix the ingredients, a little at a time, and cook outdoors in huge iron kettles over wood fires from 15 to 20 hours.
Mint Julep
The celebrated mint julep came from the Kentuckians' taste for distilled spirits. The origin is unknown, but one legend is that a nineteenth century Kentucky boatman on the Mississippi River went ashore in search of spring water to mix with his bourbon. On a whim.. he is said to have added some mint growing by the spring. Nineteenth century juleps frequently contained wine or brandy, but Southerners turned to bourbon whiskey, which is still the ingredient of choice in Kentucky. It has remained much in favor with genteel Kentucky society and is a tradition associated primarily with the Kentucky Derby.
Traditionally the whiskey used is straight aged Kentucky bourbon.
The chilled cup in which the mint julep is served.. is.. also by tradition, made of sterling silver ..(originally coin silver).. about 4" tall and 3" in diameter. A specially designed julep cup is presented to the Kentucky Derby winner each year. In the absence of silver.. a tall glass is acceptable. The water must be cold and.. if possible.. from a limestone spring. The sugar is either granulated or powdered.. and the ice is usually crushed but may be shaved. Some prefer to sip the concoction through a straw while others drink straight from the cup.. careful to hold the cup only by the rim so as not to disturb the frost on the silver.
The only consensus on the mint.. The freshest available.
Mint Julep Cup
The Perfect Mint Julep
You will need..
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups water (branch water is ideal)
Fresh Mint
Crushed Ice
Kentucky Bourbon (2 ounces per serving)
Make a simple mint syrup* by boiling sugar & water together for 5 minutes.. cool.
Place in a covered container with 6 or 8 bruised mint sprigs.
Refrigerate overnight.
Make a julep by filling a julep cup* or glass with crushed ice,
then adding 1 tablespoon of mint syrup and 2 ounces of bourbon.
Stir rapidly with a spoon to frost outside of cup or glass.
Garnish with a fresh mint sprig..
*This makes enough syrup for about 44 juleps.
Extra Tips..
Always use a premium Kentucky bourbon
Use crushed or shaved ice and pack in cup.
To bruise mint, place in a cup and gently pass the back of a spoon
between cup and the leaves a time or two.
You want the mint to release some of the fragrant oils.
Add a straw cut to protrude just above the rim of the cup and serve.
You should be able to get a faint whiff of the mint sprig when you're sipping.
Keep the covered syrup in the refrigerator
(after removing the mint leaves)
if you don't plan on drinking all the servings.
Recipe for 1 drink...
In a bowl, place several fresh mint sprigs,
1 tsp. of sugar and 1/4 ounce of water.
Crush the leaves with a spoon and stir all well.
Fill a chilled tumbler with crushed ice,
fill with Bourbon, and top with strained mixture.
..Or place a bit of the mixture into the chilled glass.
Add a layer of crushed ice.
Continue at least one more time, topping with ice.
Pour Bourbon on top.
Garnish with fresh mint sprigs.

requiring 8,000 quarts of Julep Mix..
150 Bushels of Mint and 60 tons of snow ice.
