MiddleFingerMom's JournalYEEEHHAAAA!!! I found a Polish restaurant in Tucson -- the Polish Cottage -- and they serve...
.
.
.
... Bigos, pierogi and Jaegerschnitzel. It's been a LONG time since I've traveled far
afield for a restaurant, but I think it's high time for a road trip (by bus, of course).
.
Their menu and a recipe for Bigos (Polish Hunter's Stew) follow:

Unfortunately, they don't have Gulasch.
.
.
For the Bigos, I added 3 or 4 coarsely-diced apples to this, (used all pork --
4 different kinds), bacon instead of salt pork, white mushrooms, and 3
different types of sausage (kielbasa, Andouille, and a chicken/apple sausage)
and Libby's canned sauerkraut (it's made with caraway seeds, which ups the
flavor value considerably. If I make it again, I will probably include some beef.
.
Bigos is PERFECT for a cold, blustery winter's day, served simply with a
baguette. I made a huge stockpot's worth (increasing the amounts in the
recipe) for a bunch of friends in college. I had hoped for muy leftovers for
the following days, but alas... the stockpot was licked clean.

When I did a Google Image Search (GIS) for "Frugal Gourmet Bigos", I found
a picture of me in a Santa hat among the offerings.

The wit of a Great White Shark is nowhere NEAR as sharp as its incisors.

Graywarrior's problems with ducks can all be traced back to that bad batch of microdot in 1971.
