While reading a novel of the deep south, I got curious about the mention of Frogmore Stew. Here’s an adaptation of a traditional recipe from Blair Lonergan’s The Seasoned Mom. By the way, there’s no “frog” in it! The dish, also known as Low-Country Boil, originates from the fishing community of Frogmore on St. Helena Island in Beaufort, South Carolina.
Frogmore Stew

In a large pot, bring water, salt and Old Bay seasoning to a boil.

Add potatoes and reduce the heat slightly. Cook for 15 minutes.

Add sausage and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Stir in the cobs of corn and cook for 3 minutes.

Remove the ingredients from the water and serve the “stew” on a large platter, in individual bowls, or on a picnic table lined with newspapers.
