Three cities vie for credit for having created the ultimate and original cassoulet: Toulouse, Castelnaudary and Carcassonne, all in the Languedoc region of France. The dish is named for the pot in which it is traditionally cooked, a cassole, which is a deep earthenware casserole. For back woods cooking we will have to make due with a metal pot.
