👉 pottage is a type of English dish consisting of cooked lentils, potatoes, and onions. It's often used in soups or stews to add flavor and texture. The word "pottage" comes from the Old French word "potage," which means "to boil." In this context, pottage is typically cooked in a pot over low heat for several hours until the lentils are tender and the potatoes are soft.
