Pauper Stew

"The name may make it seem very unappetizing, but trust me it’s not as bad as it sounds. The name Pauper Stew comes from the traditional name from when adventurers were poor vagrants. Now it can range from shoe leather all the way to exotic meats and vegetables that are to die for."
~ Unknown Bard
