RIEDER'S BOUJA
Central Minnesota has welcomed people from many cultures and has been blessed by their food traditions. Here is a recipe for Bouja that came to us from Poland and has now become one of my home town's most enduring traditions, as well as a great fund raiser for local churches.

BOOYAH THE SOUP
Booyah (also spelled booya, bouja, boulyaw, or bouyou) is a thick soup/stew found in the Upper Midwestern United States. It was introduced to this country by Wallonian immigrants from Belgium. Booyah often requires up to two days and multiple cooks to prepare. It is cooked in specially designed "booyah kettles," and is usually meant to serve hundreds of people. The name "Booyah" also refers to the event surrounding the meal. (Recipe courtesy of The Milwaukee Brewing Co.)

MIDWEST LIVING'S BOUJA / BURGOO
Bouja is traditionally an upper Midwest (Minnesota) stew, while Burgoo is a specialty of the lower Midwest (Kentucky). In either case, it's what I would call a 'stew of opportunity', meaning that whatever you have on hand is what goes into the pot. In the past, squirrels were a main ingredient of the Burgoo. Anyway, I found this delicious combination recipe in Midwest Living and it made my house smell yummy, you can add squirrel if you like!
