Talk:List of stews

Jambalaya is not a stew, but a Pilaf.
Most would consider it a Pilaf. It fits the description of a pilaf in that it is a mainly rice dish that is cooked with a seasoned broth, with vegetables and meats. Notable are its lack of a remaining broth or gravy. If there are no objections, I'd like to remove it from this list. 24.20.219.217 (talk) 19:18, 29 October 2018 (UTC) Louisianan in Oregon

Adding sortable column "Traditional Protein"
Most of the listed stews are based on the use of one or more meats/alternative-proteins. In order to facilitate analysis and useful comparisons by readers among the general population of the U.S.A., I added a column to list the protein (such as: "Meat", "Seafood", "Game", "Vegetarian", &c) found in the most traditional yet at the same time currently-common version mentioned in the article.
 * With the exception of horsemeat, I do not include any of what most U.S. readers might exotic meats - even where such are mentioned in the article (eg: Saksang).
 * Several stews appear to combine a couple of traditional foundations (like Gumbo), while others use a single name for popular dishes based on different alternatives (Pozole) - in these instances I name both proteins.
 * I also identify by the single group name "Sausage" a variety of ground or chopped meats mixed with spices, herbs, and other flavorings.
 * In several cases there is no preferred ingredient (eg: Fricot), I have classified these in the group "Various".
 * Finally, the listed item "Offal" refers not only to organ meats (tripe, brains, &c), but also to meats (like calf's-foot) which are uncommon among the general U.S. population, and often unavailable except through ethnic outlets.
