The Polish hunter's stew of sauerkraut, fresh cabbage, smoked kielbasa, pork shoulder, dried mushrooms and prunes, simmered for hours and reheated for days until the flavours deepen into the national winter dish.

Bigos has appeared in Polish kitchens since at least the 14th century, originally as a hunters' field stew made from whatever game and pickled cabbage the household had. Mickiewicz immortalised it in Pan Tadeusz. Every Gdańsk traditional kitchen, from Kubicki to Witómë, keeps a pot through the cold months.
