My granddad used to put a bit of plum jam in his to counteract the bitterness of the sauerkraut - is this normal or just him? Maybe you know citizen?

I have had eaten and watched Bigos being made by my grandmother mother and father, and no had not come across anyone adding plum jam to it

I have made it myself a few times (not that hard to be honest) tasted as it should and never thought of counteracting the bitterness of the sauerkraut as that is what made the, well Bigos

Could have been his secret ingredient

Beef rolls (Zrazy) and Greek style fish (Ryba po grecku) are very tasty. The rolls are stuffed and the fish is great after it has been left in the fridge.

I do enjoy my polish food, try to have a least one polish meal a week, reason being polish gf. Been over to Poland a few times and everything is always pretty tasty. Quite like the blood sausage, in fact not come across anything I don't like. Quite like to have Pierogi for a lazy dinner.

I have a Polish wife so have eaten quite a bit of Polish food and love it. I do most of our cooking so not that much Polish food at home, mostly at her parents or when out.

Similarly I have a polish girlfriend who I have been with for 6 years so have been over to Poland quite a few times..food is generally very nice, her homemade pierogi is awesome

only thing I really didn't get on with was the carp she bought at Christmas last year and the bloody thing stank to high haven when she was gutting it....
