What is Bollito misto?

An Italian dish of various kinds of meat - usually chicken, ox tongue and pigs' trotters - boiled in stock. It's served with sauces that vary from region to region, but salsa verde and mostarda di frutta (a whole fruit preserve with hot mustard in sweet syrup) are common accompaniments. Bollito misto is traditionally served on New Year's Eve in northern Italy, with lentils and preserved, candied fruit. The meat represents good health, the lentils wealth and the fruit good spirits.
