Wrocław's version of the Polish hunter's stew, cabbage and sauerkraut braised with smoked meats, dried mushrooms, plums. Heavier than Warsaw's bigos, lighter than Lwów's.
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.
