Pieds paquets is the Marseillais offal dish of lamb tripe rolled into small parcels stuffed with garlic, parsley and salt pork, simmered with sheep's trotters in a white-wine and tomato broth for four to six hours.

Pieds paquets came out of the bouchons and brasseries of Marseille from the late 19th century, the workers' meal that used the cheapest cuts of the lamb. The dish travelled across the Bouches-du-Rhone (Marseille and Sisteron the rival schools) and was protected for decades by the Confrerie des Pieds et Paquets at the city's traiteurs. The slow cook breaks down the tripe so the parcels read as silky rather than chewy, and the broth thickens around the trotters.
