==================================================================== "A
little history:

Every ancient Polish manor has its own cookery book, the growth of
centuries, carefully bound, exquisitelypenned recipes, yellow with age.
Amoung those recipes we should not fail to find one for Bigos, a most
delectable dish served at every hunting party. In Pan Tadeusz, Mickiewicz
said, "There has been a bearhunt. The bear is killed, a great fire is made
and while the Bigos is warming in a mighty pot, the hungry hunters drink
crystal clear, goldenflecked wodka from Gdansk."
