I feel like giving the French credit for stew is a stretch even stretchier than giving them credit for thinly slicing meat.
Thank god for the French inventing stew, I say, so that the British, Spanish, Italians, Greeks, Germans, Russians, West Africans, North Africans, Northeast Native Americans, Aztecs, Mayans, Persians, Pakistanis, South Indians, Central Asians and Chinese could learn how to put ingredients in a pot and boil them.
One may also add that ‘bœuf bourguignon’ literally translates as ‘Burgundy beef’, for the very good reason that it is cooked in red wine. That’s not exactly ‘inventing stew’, although it tastes great
