I remember reading G. de Maupassant's "La Riviere" (187?) that the husband
enjoyed his evening stew "pot au feu"; which is a meat and vegetable
stew.  I am "on travel" and do not have any resources w/ me, but I wonder
how far back "pot au feu" can be traced; and whether any chronicles might
list the recipe w/ ingredients.  From the context of the story, pot au feu
is eatten by the poor; in which case, it may have been deliberately
excluded due to snobbery or because everyone and their cousin had the
recipe.
