Didn’t know the dish at all, and it sounds divine! The pot it is cooked in reminds me of the ones used on the Cycladic islands to slow-cook chickpeas overnight in the receding heat of the wood-fired oven.
Loved this story of how French dining at home became slightly less formal. This is exactly how we’ve always eaten in India. All the big saucepans on the table and then people help themselves. I wonder if there’s a connection.
So much to enjoy in your posts - the small details...eg about the snails. Thank you for another excellent read

Love this update on strict French table conventions. Thank you!
Frogs in the pond? Eh, what?
Wonderful Elisabeth! I could almost smell the Daube. So evocative of place and changing times, and how we eat. And the art...those snails - beautiful!
Love the story. What an amazing depiction of eating traditions. 🧡🌷
