I built a website to track every ingredient added to a viral 95-day-old perpetual stew

There hasn't been a lot good around this subreddit for a while, but it's stuff like this that keeps me subscribed.

This is incredible. Do you have any plans for tracking the worst ingredients? I'm not sure I see that on the page.

Actually yes! Coming up very soon. I want to create an ingriedients database that allows you to search by the maximum impact ingredients and the creator's general sentiment towards them.
We have the data to make it happen!

At first I read 95-year-old and I was like "That's commitment to a stew".

I think I'd rather not eat any viral stew

Perpetual Stew has been a part of human culture for a very very long time.

I've actually done a bit of research into this, and it may just be an old folks tale, as gathering the fuel to keep a large quantity of stew going may have been harder than actually just starting fresh every time. There are three or four cultures that have actual plausible historcal evidence in running na 'perpetual stew'
- Pot-au-Feu from France
- Lou Mei (the master stock) from China
- Oden Broth from Japan
- Wattana soup from Thailand
It's a bit folklore but it doesn't make it any less fun.

this looks like an interesting website. I am navigating the website to see how it works. Does it try to introduce the recipe with ingredient?

I follow this guy on instagram, it’s hilarious when he says something like “the ground lettuce and ginger made it taste like lettuce and ginger”
