Burgoo was originally a subsistence stew from Eastern Ky. You took what you had left over from the week and had preserved to make a stew to use up the leftovers. That's why it contains so many different meats and vegetables. Easter Ky is primarily a Scottish settlement area. So the foods there are different from Central Ky, or Western Ky. Kentucky was one of the early havens for cultures moving off or the east coast and is extremely varied in it's cultural mix. Burgoo is an Eastern Ky invention.
