Potée champenoise is the Champagne one-pot of salted pork belly, smoked ham and sausage simmered with green cabbage, carrots, turnips and potatoes, a slow and generous family dish.
The potée, locally called la joute, is described as probably the most popular traditional dish of Champagne: a complete, cheap, slowly simmered meal for family gatherings and large assemblies, built on lean salted pork belly, salted pork, sausage and a thick slice of smoked ham with cabbage, carrots, turnips and firm potatoes. A potée champenoise des vendangeurs was traditionally cooked in very large quantities on grape-picking days, and a Marne member of parliament chose it for a book of MPs' favourite dishes because it feeds thirty and cooks for four hours unwatched.
