Mulligan Stew (food)
Mulligan stew, also known as Hobo stew, is a type of stew said to have been prepared by American hobos in camps in the early 1900s.

Prepublication Sorrentino began the novel in November 1971 and finished it in February 1975. At the time it was titled ''Synthetic Ink''. His agent shopped it out, unsuccessfully.
