Bandie Wandie tried petit sale aux lentilles (traditional French pork and lentils stew dish) for the first time at a restaurant in Paris near Etienne Marcel. He loved the dish, but since it was so so so annoying to go out in Paris and to interact with the medieval-looking Parisians, I ended up making it at home. Since then, I've made many variations of this dish. This one is a quick and easy recipe (when you don't have time to slow cook the real pork stuff) that uses ham instead.
