You may want to bring a can of pork & beans with you then.

Kate: You're missing the point somewhat.

There's other stuff to eat.

StCirq

You're kidding, right?

Sarastro

That would be like ordering a meatless hamburger.

Spaghetti without pasta.

Salad without lettuce.

Sorry to have offended your gastronomical senses.

Carlux

Not so much offended, as asked for something that doesn't exist - like salad without lettuce. Cassoulet is made from confit of duck and/or goose. Without it, it isn't cassoulet.

Actually, cheap canned cassoulet has only pork in it. It is frankly an item that I like for a lazy meal when you want to just dump something in a pan and heat it up (even though I might often add chopped onions and grated cheese to make it completely unauthentic).

I don't think that such an item could be found in a restaurantt, though, and most certainly not in southwest France, unless some innovative chefs

...unless some innovative chefs are experimenting with seafood cassoulet, the same as has already been done with seafood couscous and seafood sauerkraut.

StCirq

Seafood sauerkraut? That sounds perfectly dreadful.

kerouac

Oh, flying_kate, I did want to ask why youu do not want duck or goose? Fowl is generally a consensual item unless you are a vegetarian.

Blech...

It's quite popular in the Muslim community of Alsace.

whether it is good or not, it is not cassoulet, right?

kerouac

No, we got a bit off track.

Cassoulet is a bean stew made with pork, duck and/or goose.

In both Alsace and Germany I have had fish with sauerkraut. One has to rinse the sauerkraut a lot.
