Cassoulet is made with mostly shelf-stable ingredients (duck confit being designed to withstand nuclear winter, jarred or canned) so I think you captured the spirit perfectly.

Nobody is banning you from France - (unlike that guardian writer who made the “perfect” aligot with mozzarella and a straight face, and got paid for it.

She’s banned. )

You, my friend, are fun.

+1!!! Especially the ones from Trader Joe’s, which are the best in the world. Come at me, Jelly Belly!

Oh no! I haven’t even tried those. I like the Starburst brand, but my all time favorite is a wholesale brand called “World’s Best” (have fun googling that) which is sold in lots of candy boutiques. Looks like you can get them here: https://www.bissingers.com/product/Bissingers-Gourmet-Jelly-Beans/

The boiled jelly beans would make perfect “alien eggs” for some sort of Halloween horror feast. Magnificent.
