Beef Pork Chicken Stew

Stew made using chicken, beef and pork was served at the weddings some three decades back long before the buffet meals came into the picture. The pork, beef and chicken stew was served in a quarter plate with a triangular slice of bread, neatly trimmed and it was oh, so tasty. This tasty stew of three meats is not seen very often today and even if it is, might not bring back the memories of the stew of old.
