Pepper Pot is a thick stew of beef tripe vegetables pepper and other seasonings. The origins of the stew are steeped in legend with one story attributing the dish to Christopher Ludwick baker general of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. According to this story during the harsh winter of 1777–1778 farmers near Valley Forge sold food to the British rather than accepting the weak continental currency.
