Diot

Diot is a traditional sausage hailing from the French region of Savoie. Although there are several varieties of these sausages, they're usually prepared with a combination of fatty ground pork that's seasoned with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. There are small and large diots, fresh and smoked, and they can be boiled, grilled, or braised. The most popular way of preparing the sausages is in a dish called diots au vin blanc – the diots are boiled in white wine with garlic and onions. When served, the sausages are usually accompanied by Dijon mustard, polenta, lentils, or boiled potatoes.
