Since fall has been officially declared (even though we are still in the 90s here in Florida) my thoughts immediately went to making a hearty bean casserole. A cassoulet is comfort food that would appeal to both American and French culture. In France, cassoulet would be a hearty dish of duck and pork and white beans; in America, the dish would feature a more tomato-based dish with pork as the main meat.
