Cassoulet only beans, tomato sauce, sausages, and bacon. More expensive versions are likely to be cooked with goose fat and to include Toulouse sausages, lamb, goose, or duck confit. Haute cuisine versions require mixing pre-cooked roasted meats with beans that have been simmered separately with aromatic vegetables, but this runs counter to cassoulet's peasant origins. In the process of preparing the dish it is traditional to deglaze the pot from the previous cassoulet in order to give a base for the next one. This has led to stories, such as the one given by Elizabeth David, citing Anatole France, of a
Christmas in Sweden with mustard. Other traditional cuts include homemade sausages, leverpastej and several types of brawn. It is also common to serve the cold meats with sliced cheese, pickled cucumbers and soft and crisp breads. The third course would be warm dishes. Traditionally, the third course begins with soaking bread in the stock from the Christmas ham, which is called "dopp i grytan". Warm dishes include Swedish meatballs ("köttbullar"), small fried hot dog sausages ("prinskorv"), roasted pork ribs ("revbensspjäll"), and warm potato casserole, matchstick potatoes layered with cream, onion and sprats called "Janssons frestelse" (literally "Jansson's Temptation"). Other dishes are pork sausages
