Did you know: The French word rillettes is first evidenced in 1845. It derives from the Old French rille, meaning a slice of pork, which is first attested in 1480. This is a dialect variation of the Old French reille, meaning a lath or strip of wood, from the Latin regula. In English, it means cooked shredded meat (such as pork or duck or fish) preserved in fat. Source: Wiki
