Internet\u2019s obsession with TikToker\u2019s neverending stew explained depthsofwikipedia\/TikTokA woman has gone viral on TikTok after making a medical perpetual stew that never ends and serving it to New Yorkers, but viewers aren\u2019t totally convinced. Perpetual stew was a popular dish during the Medival times and is made by constantly simmering and continuously replenishing the ingredients of a single batch of stew. According to How Stuff Works, what makes this 14th-century Polish stew unique is that it\u2019s often \u201cskimmed and strained, leaving behind only dark, rich broth.\u201d Consumers of the stew get to taste the complex flavor profile left behind by all the different ingredients added during its different iterations. Annie Rauwerda is documenting her experience making a medieval soup called \u201cperpetual stew,\u201d and TikTok is eating it up. TikToker went viral after making everlasting perpetual stew Rauwerda\u2019s stew journey began in June when she posted a video announcing she would make it and document it on her TikTok, @depthsofwikipedia. Rauwerda also runs an Instagram account of the same name, where she posts screenshots of oddities she\u2019s found on the popular site to an audience of more than one million followers. In the video, she shows the Crockpot that will house the stew and says she has invited friends over to add their ingredients to the concoction. In order to maintain food safety, How Stuff Works advises keeping the soup \u201caround 200 degrees Fahrenheit\u201d at all times. In a follow-up video two days later, Rauwerda proved that her friends made good on their promise to add to the stew. She showed clips of her friends and the various ingredients they brought. These ingredients included: a clove of garlic, a bunch of carrots, a potato, a bunch of parsley, and some onions, to name a few. On the fourth day of the perpetual stew, Rauwerda updated her more than 171,000 followers by letting them know that dill was \u201coverpowering the flavor.\u201d TikToker allows viewers to take part in tasting and making the stew Six days into the stew\u2019s simmering, Rauwerda hosted a gathering at a park in Brooklyn\u2019s Bushwick neighborhood where strangers could add to the concoction as well as try the now-famous stew. According to a TikTok after the meet-up, Rauwerda said about 50 people came and ate the stew and that she was even recognized at the grocery story as \u201cstew girl.\u201d Since then, Rauwerda has hosted four more stew parties on the 10th, 17th, 30th, and 33rd day of cooking, and everyone who tries it seems to love it. \u201cThe stew was definitely 4.8 stews out of 5,\u201d a guest named Stu said about the 17-day-old stew he\u2019d just tried. \u201cI thought the stew was fantastic,\u201d another guest named Nate said. Rauwerda is currently over 40 days old, and she is keeping fans posted about everything that\u2019s happening with the stew, from what ingredients are added to when people have the chance to taste it themselves, on a designated blog. She also continues to keep viewers posted on her TikTok, but not everyone seems to be too sure about it. One person commented: \u201cGenuinely curious is this like safe to eat? no hate I\u2019m just like how does it not go bad at some point?\u201d Rauwerda responded: \u201cThe broth is always cooking so it\u2019s too hot for harmful bacteria! Veggies do get mushy but I try to put them in at strategic times so they cycle out!!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Perpetual Stew?
