I guess that counts me out.
What is Polish Hunters Stew?
Ha! Ha!
Ok, not so funny joke...
Thanks for dropping by Barbara - I think you were the first "foreign" blogger to drop by my blog, but you had sort of stopped dropping by or at least leaving comments. Although recently you have left two or three. Please keep coming back. That way my traffic will increase. Then I will decide it is worthwhile to stick ads on my blog and rake in millions from the ad revenue (no ... not really).
Anyhow, getting back to bigos. In simple terms it is sauerkraut + tomato sauce + mushrooms + seasoning (salt, pepper, snooty people like to put caraway in theirs) + at least 3 different kinds of meat (at least one of which must be smoked). You can throw in other vegetables if you like (carrots, potatoes, parsnips, turnips, etc).
It tastes best at least 24 hours after prepared (to allow the flavours to properly blend). It is the kind of dish that is good to throw you leftover bits of meat into.
You can get a recipe for it here and see a picture of it here.
One tip, avoid any sauerkraut that has wine on the label or vinegar or wine in the ingredients. Sauerkraut has two ingredients: cabbage + salt (I will tolerate sodium metabisulphaite as a preservative - but it doesn't need a preservative) anything else is verbotten. I would also avoid any recipe that adds prunes or caraway to it (but apples are always nice - they sweeten it).
You can read more of my rant on sauerkraut here - although my links don't seem to be working (I wonder why?)
Doesn't anyone ever jump to links I provide? Didn't anyone notice they weren't working? sigh.
Memes are great and can reveal much more than you think. :P
Have a wonderful new year and may all your dreams be fulfilled in 2006! :)
Thanks for being my friend.
me me me! ... actually almost anyone... hehe
Bee, I was going to say "1 or more vowels" but realized that the Vietnamese have Ng as a name and I didn't want to exclude them ;)
