Best Cassoeula in Milan

Cassoeula is Milan's winter pork-and-cabbage stew, made with cabbage, pork ribs, sausage, rind, and slow cooking until the dish turns dense and sticky. Order **"cassoeula con polenta"** (*cassoeula with polenta*) in cold months, especially November through February. Expect €18-30, and check availability before traveling because many kitchens serve it only in season or on fixed days. The trap is hunting for cassoeula in July or at a tourist restaurant that keeps a token version on the menu year-round.
