Succotash is a flavorful side dish consisting of vegetables such as corn and lima beans, served in a creamy sauce made with milk, cream, or butter. The name of this tasty side is derived from the word msakwitash , meaning broken corn kernels , referring to one of the key ingredients in the dish. Originally, it was a Native American staple, a thick stew so nourishing that it would feed a crowd. Today, there are numerous varieties of the dish: Cherokees add pumpkin, meat, and nuts, the Plymouth variety uses navy beans, potatoes, and turnips, and other modern varieties use tomatoes, squash, and okra. What began as a humble dish is today a New England favorite, and it is especially popular on Thanksgiving Day.
