 Notes: 

"Slum gullion" or "slumgullion" or just "slum", is a term thought to have come from the
California gold rush. It meant the mud left in the sluice when panning for gold, and the
miners also used it to refer to a thin, watery stew or soup made from leftovers. The
term first appeared in print sometime around 1850. Another use for the term included
fish offal or the waste from processing whale carcasses (in Moby-Dick, which was
published in 1851, Herman Melville called it "slobgollion").

 Every recipe for slumgullion has different ingredients, which is logical since it was
originally made from leftovers.
