Also, for Americans, stew implies chunks of meat with potatoes, carrots and onions (among other things) but not cabbage.

This is a discussion about the Polish dish called Bigos.The American "opinion" is irrelevant.Why do Yanks, even ones like you, who have lived in Poland for a long time,seem to think that the American opinion matters?

discussion about the Polish dish called Bigos.

so? I still maintain the name 'hunter's stew' is not a good translation (if you want to translate it) I usually use Polish food names and if someone asks I give an explanation of what it is rather than try to use a translated name that's confusing and misleading....

The American "opinion" is irrelevant

If you look, you'll see that the opinion in question is about the English language rather than Polish food.

I'd agree, stew isn't a particularly accurate description in English and in fact it doesn't need translating any more than pierogi or pizza. Bigos is bigos and to translate it as "hunters' stew" gives a misleading impression of the dish.
