THE BATSOA' HISTORICAL PIEDMONT DISH

The origin of this dish of Piedmont cuisine seems to date to the first 800. 
The main ingredient was represented by the leg of veal or beef from Piedmont. 
In many recipes of Piedmont cuisine you use the leg of pork because once when he killed the pig, the leg was the most difficult to maintain. 
The pork is much fatter and the taste is less fine than that of cattle of Piedmont. 
The etymology of the word is not sure but usually goes back to the French "bas de soie" meaning "silk stockings" which recalls the texture of the dish.
