Cassoeula (Lombard: [kaˈsøːla]; also spelled cazzoeula), sometimes Italianized as cassola,[1] cazzuola or cazzola (western Lombard word for 'trowel', etymologically unrelated), or bottaggio (probably derived from the French word potage), is a typical winter dish popular in western Lombardy. The dish has a strong, decisive flavour, and was a favourite of conductor Arturo Toscanini.[2] One writer describes it as a "noble, ancient Milanese dish",[3] and writes of the inexpressible "pleasure that it furnishes the soul as well as the palate, especially on a wintry day".[3]
