    pickled beets and a pickle?

    sausage on a potato cake?

    are those dumplings on the right?

    what’s the crunchy looking stuff in the gravy boat?

    I’d eat that…

        Bigos in English is called Hunter’s Stew, and you ideally include wild game meat in it.

        Besides that, shitton of spices, few other kinds of meat like pork and sausage, shrooms, prunes, cabbage (required) and onions.

        And it must stew for at least half a day.

        Not gonna dispute your definition, because you have far more Polish cred than I do (assuming you’re actually Polish and not just someone whose great-great-grandparents or whatever came from Poland like myself)

        But I feel like you’re really underselling bigos.

        Pretty sure there’s at least as many recipes for it as there are Polish families, and sauerkraut and sausage are probably the only two things that most of them have in common, so I guess it makes sense to boil the definition down to that, but most versions I’ve had almost seem like they put half the grocery store into the pot.

          I agree, Bigos is way more than that but because it almost always contains those two things and I was already making a long list I added it.

          Although I guess only sauerkraut is obligatory, because I’ve eaten vegan Bigos before and it’s pretty close to the sausage version. Some also use boczek which is kind of the polish version of bacon instead of sausage.

    that’s a very random combination. Id eat each thing as a separate meal but never all at once like that but you do you op 😄

    Is that for one person? I get that there are lots of vegetables, but it seems like a lot of food.
