Best kielbasa to use for Bigos.

Ok.We all know how to cook Bigos.
I always add Boczek and whatever meats are available.

But which is the best kielbasa to add?

My mum and all my Polish aunts have died now, so I can't ask them.
One of them told me Tucholska, but that didn't seem right to me.

As a kid, I remember the best bigos and the kielbasa was king! But I don't know what it was.My family came from Eastern Poland if that helps.

Any ideas?

I'd say kielbasa zwyczajna? Definitely, don't use parówki/wieners sausage. Many Polish cooks add pork (in addition to bacon) too.

That looks very much like the kielbasa I remember in my childhood.
Does the skin toughen up a bit in cooking?

Sure, you put it with the skin and it's probably the best part if the quality of the sausage is good. Don't forget about garlic and other spices :

I think you may have found my ideal bigos kielbasa.

Now I just have to search the Polish Deli's to find some......

Is it still being produced?

Yes, still available.

I had homemade Golabki tonight:):)

The monkey could never make anything this good. Ha

What did you stuff them with?

slow cooked venezuelan children, and rice

Rice, ground beef and pieces of bacon😁

I'm not fond of those but still, I must say they look good and promising.

It looks delicious; Pawian could try for a year and would not come close to perfection. Smacznego!!

They do look nice. Zrazy is my favourite dish, these come second.

Im a lucky guy with a Polish wife that likes to cook thats for sure:)


Zrazy is my favorite as well, but never in a million years will I be able to pronounce it. So, Im sticking with Beef rolls.lol


All he eats is sledz and eggs, it must smell very bad at his residence.

There are many different recipes for Zrazy but this is a good one.

To be honest 90% of what pawian posts as his food is weird by Polish standards, on top of it it seems to be badly made.

I couldn't agree more!

Its looks disgusting as well... Its mostly fish anyhow, his breath must stink from a mile away.lol

Agreed.Not only is he obnoxious but he smells as well!

Im sure he has a bathtub behind his shed somewhere, just waiting for the weather to warm up some more.

I purchased there kapusta rolls from the Polish deli but my wifes cooking was 100x better.
