Mulligan stew is a dish said to have been prepared by American hobos in camps in the early 1900s.A description of mulligan stew appeared in a 1900 newspaper:Another traveler present described the operation of making a mulligan. Five or six hobos join in this. One builds a fire and rustles a can. Another has to procure meat; another potatoes; one fellow pledges himself to obtain bread and still another has to furnish onions salt and pepper. If a chicken can be stolen so much the better.
