Georgia now has official state stew, bread
BRUNSWICK, Ga. (WSAV) — Georgia officially has a state stew and a state bread!
House Bill 233 was signed into law Monday that marked Brunswick stew as the official state stew. The stew is a Georgia classic, made with meat, tomatoes and fresh vegetables.
According to the bill, a plaque on an old iron pot in Brunswick declares the first Brunswick stew was made in it on July 2, 1898, on nearby St. Simons Island.
'Contrary to claims by other states, Georgia, and specifically Brunswick, Georgia, is the birthplace of Brunswick stew,' the bill said.
Georgians know that cornbread often goes hand in hand with Brunswick stew, and the state decided it would stay that way.
HB 233 also designated cornbread as Georgia's official state bread.
'Corn is grown, ground, and made into cornmeal at historic mills like Prater's Mill, Berry College Mill, and Ogeechee River Mill and modern mills like Southeastern Mills and Logan Turnpike Mill,' the bill said. 'Cornmeal is then sold in stores and served in eating establishments throughout the state, and cornbread is enjoyed by young and old at home and in restaurants'
Cornbread enjoys a singular stature in Georgia history and culture that is rivaled only by its undeniable appeal as a versatile and satisfying food
It also designated the fourth Friday in November as 'National Sugarcane Syrup Day' in Georgia.
Legislators said that making it the day after Thanksgiving is particularly fitting, 'as it is not only a time when families gather and celebrate together, but also a time when some say sugarcane is at its sweetest in Georgia.'

Miley Cyrus' 'brutal infection' has doctors discussing possible causes
After filming a music video on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Miley Cyrus said she was recently hospitalized with a knee infection, prompting doctors to weigh in on how certain environments can expose people to harmful bacteria. On a Thursday episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Cyrus, 32, recalled the moment she filmed her "Something Beautiful" visual album and then landed in the ICU. "I filmed this video in October [2024] by November at Thanksgiving, I was put in the ICU for a moment — just for a moment," the singer said. When 2-Year-old Goes Into Cardiac Arrest, Parents Take Life-saving Action Cyrus described rolling on the sidewalk as part of her shoot, and shortly after, she developed symptoms that required intensive medical attention. "I caught something," she remarked. "My leg began to disintegrate ... around the kneecap area. And then the doctor goes, 'Do you have any idea why you would have such a brutal infection on your kneecap?'" Read On The Fox News App While the singer did not disclose a specific diagnosis, medical experts say her case is a reminder of how everyday public spaces can present hidden health hazards. Dr. Marc Siegel, clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center and Fox News senior medical analyst, noted that extremely aggressive bacteria are not common in urban settings. "Flesh-eating bacteria on city streets is very rare," Siegel, who did not treat Cyrus, told Fox News Digital. "Rat urine can cause leptospirosis, a bacteria that causes flu-like symptoms." The doctor said he believes the likely cause was a more typical bacterial infection rather than something exotic, although common bacteria can cause serious skin reactions. "Strep or staph bacteria are common causes of skin infection like cellulitis," said Siegel. "Bacteria can be found [on streets], like E. coli, shigella and enterococci, which are from fecal matter, and may get onto the bottoms of shoes," he added. Hoda Kotb Reveals Daughter's Concerning Diagnosis Influenced Her Exit From 'Today' These infections do not typically originate from the street itself, the doctor said, but can develop when skin comes in contact with bacteria, which can happen during close exposure to surfaces like sidewalks. The risk of infection often increases when the skin is broken or irritated, allowing bacteria to enter the body more easily. Even minor cuts and scrapes can become gateways for infection when exposed to contaminated surfaces, according to Dr. Ken Perry, an emergency medicine physician in Charleston, South Carolina. "For most patients, these infections are contracted from open wounds in the skin or some other breach in the skin barrier," Perry, who also did not treat Cyrus, told Fox News Digital. Such infections are usually easily treated with common antibiotics, according to the doctor. Cyrus' shoot put her in close contact with one of the busiest sidewalks in the country, which doctors say can heighten the danger. "In the case of Miley Cyrus, she states that she contracted this after rolling around on the ground during the filming of her music video," said Perry. American Honeymoon Hotspot Hit By Highly Contagious Illness, Health Officials Warn "The foot traffic could easily contaminate the area with bacteria from animal or even human sources," he hypothesized. "For the majority of the population, rolling around on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is not common behavior, but even casual interaction could put an individual in contact with harmful bacteria," Perry added. Doctors agree that basic hygiene is one of the best ways to avoid infection, especially in public spaces. "The best way to keep this from happening is to be fastidious with hygiene," said Perry. "We know to wash our hands after being in public to keep from possibly transferring bacteria to the mucus membranes of our eyes, or even ingesting bacteria." Experts recommend covering wounds and washing them as soon as possible if exposed to public environments. "If the cut or scrape occurs while out in public, make sure to wash with soap and water," Perry advised. "If an individual has a cut or some break in the skin, it is best to keep it covered, especially when out in public."
