#* '''1824''' Thomas Gill. The Technical Repository p. 180: XXXV: On the French '''''Marmite''''', or ''Pot-au-Feu'': and on preparing ''Bouillon'' with it
#*: My little boy having been ill of a fever for forty days, I have learned from his attendant how to make the celebrated soup (''bouillon'') of Paris: and finding it to be superior to any that I ever before tasted, I take the liberty to send you the directions necessary to enable any one to prepare this cheap and desirable food.<BR>Earthen-pots with covers, made to hold from one to seven pounds of meat, are found in every family. The '''''marmite''''' bought for me was for one-and-a-half pound only: this quantity of lean meat (''bœufmaigre''), was always part of the leg or shoulder: it was put into the '''''marmite''''', which was then filled up with cold water, about five pints, and placed on the hearth, close to the wood-fire; and when it began to [[simmer]] or boil gently, it threw up a [[scum]], which was carefully taken off from time to time with a spoon, for the space of threequarters of an hour, which perfectly [[cleanse]]d the meat and water from every [[impurity]].

==French==

===Etymology===
{{etymon|fr|id=pot}}
In Middle French (attested 1388) used in the sense of an earthen or metal cooking-pot; later (17th century) also of bombs or grenades from their resemblance to iron cooking-pots.
Earlier, the noun {{inh|fr|fro|marmite||}} meant "hypocrite"  (attested 1223); the semantic development is explained as the cooking-pot being covered and not revealing its interior (thus being "hypocritical", as compared to e.g. a cooking-pan or a plate).

The etymology of ''marmite'' "hypocrite" is explained as a compound of  {{m|fro|marmotter||to mutter}}  (from an {{onomatopoeic|fr|title=onomatopoeic}} base ''mar-'' "murmur") and  {{m|fro|mite||cat}} (an obsolete word for "cat", probably also onomatopoeic, i.e. imitative of meowing, extant only in the compound {{m|fr|chattemite}}), and thus describing a person being evasive by "murmuring" or "meowing" instead of speaking plainly.
