    Among the relics of the Ottomans' centuries-long control of the Balkans that began in the fourteenth century was a hearty Turkish peasant soup based on lamb's feet, known as paça çorbasi, from the Turkish paça (foot), and called soupa patsas or simply patsas by the Greeks. When cooled, the gelatin in the bones firms the liquid into an entirely different dish, an aspic.
