National Cassoulle Day
January 9, Thursday
Cassoulet dates back to medieval times and is considered a peasant dish that allowed people to use available ingredients to create a nutritious and filling meal. There are many regional variations of cassoulet, but they all share the same principles: the use of meat and beans.
Often associated with socializing and friendly gatherings, it is traditionally prepared for family and holiday dinners. Cassoulet was popularized in France and has become famous not only nationally but also internationally.
