Cassoulet

IT is one of the crowning glories of Languedoc’s cuisine. The basic ingredient is ‘lingot’ beans, which is mixed with confit d’oie (goose conserve), garlic, pork sausage and rind and sometimes partridge or mutton, depending on the local recipe and availability. The whole thing is slow-cooked in an earthenware pot or ‘cassole’. This dish, a speciality of the Aude, exists in a variety of forms from Narbonne to Castelnaudary, but Castelnaudary lays claim to the original recipe!

I loved this episode, as someone who works in the field (pastry), i found it fun and interesting. i always wanted to visit monpellier and the "garden des sens" but was never that motivated, now I think i will probably go.
Thanx :-)
