Wrocław's version of the Polish hunter's stew: cabbage and sauerkraut braised slow with smoked meats, dried mushrooms and prunes. The defining Lower Silesian winter dish, deeper and smokier than its Warsaw cousin.
Bigos wrocławski grew from the post-1945 layering of Eastern Borderlands settlers' bigos (heavier, smoked-meat-led) onto the Silesian-German cabbage tradition. The Wrocław version takes the dried-plum sweetness from the Silesian larder and the smoked-meat depth from the Lwów inheritance. Improves on reheats; some Wrocław kitchens keep a pot running for a week.
