Right, right, right, right, right, right. So according to Wikipedia, perpetual stew is also known as forever soup, hunter's pot, or hunter's stew.

Not specific, just foodstuffs. Just foodstuffs. Exactly. Exactly. Duncan and Darcy's stew has been going for at least a year. Uh-huh. Okay. I read about one in Thailand that's been going on for over 45 years. And last year, a woman went viral for keeping a perpetual stew going for two months in Prospect Park.

Gemma will openly admit that sometimes this stew smells pretty good. But then other times it smells like something low-key died in it.

So Gemma's always throwing away, like, potato and carrot peels.
