Smoked Collar of Pork with Broad Beans
Description
This dish has been become regarded as the National Dish of Luxembourg, and hails from the village of Gostingen. The villagers there have often been called "Bou'nepatscherten" by their neighbours, jealous of the fact that the best broad beans grow in the area. Indeed these are celebrated annually in a "Bean Feast".
