Cassoulet (from Occitan caçolet [kasuˈlet]) is a rich, slow-cooked bean stew or casserole originating in the south of France, containing meat (typically pork sausages, pork, goose, duck and sometimes mutton), pork skin (couennes) and white haricot beans.

The dish is named after the cassole, the distinctive deep round earthenware pot with slanting sides in which cassoulet is ideally cooked.

    I must say, that picture of the cassoulet is reminiscent of something from fear factor. But, you must admit, cassoulet is fun to say. I think I will call my casserols acssoulet's from now on just for fun, except when Tom's around, because he won't believe me when I tell him that I know what a real cassoulet is he will just think I'm trying to saound all smart and stuff, bring me my corn cassoulet, please. Check on the chicken cassoulet.Oh, that breakfast cassoulet smells good!
