Hi Olfa, cassoulet, wow how nikce recipe. Le France also has given us croissants, foies and pates. Now spanish cuisine has made a great forward step with Ferran Adrià, Carme Ruscalleda and another fine chefs. Do you Know any of them? See you, Toni.

Hi Olfa! I guess coussoulet is quite delicious even though it´s a heavy meal. Best wihes, Ana Paula.

Hi, Olfa. Nice to meet you. Well, as we can see, your english is very good. Congratulations to be the choiced. This is my first communication in the blog. I had just discovered. The BBC is so great. Best Regards to you, Olfa, and to all readers from all the world.

Hi Olfa, No, I didn't see this banner on TV but I'm trying to imagine myself all situation & I think it's really very strange situation. I wish I hadn't seen that. So really I never hear word 'cassoulet'. Have a nice week. Piotr

Hi Olfa. I do not want to become one greedy guy but your entry make me can not restrain my self to taste the cassoulet . I hope to know more about the French dishes . Take care , blog mate .

Hi Olfa, I read all your blog essays with in a big interest.Your writing is very smooth and the way you are expressing your ideas are very interesting. I have been to your country to Paris about 8 years ago at the begining of millenium. I enjoyed my staying there. I had a boat trip at night on Sen River which was unforgetable. I remember the bridges which were very interesting. Every single bridge's architectural plan was different from other ones.It was like having a trip through a history time zone. The "Cassoulet" cuisine which you mentioned in this week's blog seemed very similar to our country's dish, slow cooked stew in a eartenware pot which is called "Kuru fasulye-means dried beans" but we don't put sausages or use pork, duck meat, we usually put a kind of bacon called "Pastırma" which is made of cow or sheep meat.Sometimes even we don't put any meat in it and only cook it with white beans,garlic, fresh tomatoes and fresh green pepers and usually served with pilav-made from rice and cucunber pickles.Do you serve as we do? Showing a sign or a word -like Coussoulet on a TV show to me is a kind of sense humour and is a part of a TV show because as a result there aren't any harm or hurting feelings against people.I am looking forward for your next blog essay, since then take care with my best whishes...Ayça :)

Hello Olfa, The Title "Cassoulet" was very interesting and funny. On november 4th,as I was watching about american election, I saw someone was showing off the banner Cassoulet on the air. I had no idea what was that at that time. I talked to my husband about that he said may be the name of a company who sponsered for this programme. Now I know cassoulset is a main meal in France and why they showed off the banner cassoulet on the air.I heard that paris is the city of romance. It has very beautiful architetural building with a lot of details on it. Olfa, Please send some picutes of land marks of paris and other famous places in france. It will make your blog colorful and constructive.Paris is one of the most popular place to see in the world.Olfa, you are very honoured to live in paris. kind regards.

Hi Olfa, nice to meet you. Thanks for introduction Cassoulet, your delicious meal. I had never heard about it but, now I know it, and I hope to get a chance to taste it once.by the way, have you ever eatten the Iranian delicious, typical meal called " Chelo Kabab " ?

Cassoulet is as the same we call here in Brazil Feijoada! Enjoy it!

Hey Olfa ! Now that you mentioned what cassoulet is about, i think everyone here wants to try it (including me!). I wasn't following the USA election on tv, but it's funny how the journalist related it with cassoulet. Have a nice week and hope to read you soon! Liz

Hi Olfa, I am delighted to read about Cassoulet - can you tell me how the word is pronounced, please? In any case it is making my mouth water!!

Hi Olfa!Cassoulet-unfamiliar word to me but very inguisitive. Earlier I didn't hear it.I think for many Americans and other foreigners too difficult to pronunciation and catch.As food and dish maybe scrimptious.It makes my moth water just thinking about it.I haven't seen this banner on TV,only word "CHANCE",many people and new president elect with family. Are there any other delicious dishes in France?What? Write about history of Tour Eiffel in Paris and Statue of Liberty in USA /it last has connection with your country/. Olfa! Tomorrow third Thursday of November "Le Beaujolais Nouveau at arrive".Here is to you! Cherrs! With warmest best wishes to you! I'm looking forward to your next blog. posted by Waldek L.Poland

No, I haven't watched this banner on Tv.It's really curious to know about it.I know the name of Lyon,and I know that it's in France because my brother's wife has got relatives there, but I haven't even been to there.After reading your comment, I think it may be more beautiful than I have imagined. I have been to some locations from Spain: Avila,Salamanca,Granada,Sevilla and Cordoba.Have you ever been to Cordoba? The Cordoba mosque is wonderful, with its arches in two colours.

Hello , Olfa No , I have never watched that banner on tv, but it's really curious. On the other hand, I know that Lyon is in France because my brother's wife has relatives there. But I didn't know about the marvellous forests. I mean , the trees of different coloured leaves. I think that I would have never tasted that meal because it may be really heavy and my stomach is really bleak. I like your comments and you write English very well.

I love cassoulet, a real wintry meal.
