A perpetual stew also known as hunter’s pot or hunter’s stew is a pot into which whatever one can find is placed and cooked. The pot is never or rarely emptied all the way and ingredients and liquid are replenished as necessary. The concept is often a common element in descriptions of medieval inns. Foods prepared in a perpetual stew have been described as being flavorful due to the manner in which the foodstuffs blend together in which the flavor may improve with age.
