What is Hodge Podge ?
You can find “Hodge podge” all over the world. It means using whatever ingredients are available to make a soup or stew. In many countries it’s a beef stew, or uses chicken and other meat.
The English term hotch-potch, which means a mixture, referring to the fact that the stew is prepared with a combination of different vegetables such as carrots, beans, and potatoes. CHECK THIS LINK FOR MORE INFO
Ingredients may vary but a in My Opinion a true Nova Scotia Hodge Podge has to contain New baby Carrots from the garden or farm market , young Green or Yellow Beans and freshly harvested little new potato , all fresh from the garden or farm market .
Some folks put Turnip ,Onion and even nips of bacon in it. One must include lots of Butter and heavy cream, salt & pepper to taste.
