Half-free Christmas bigos. SMACZNEGO at Christmastime!

US varieties are all F1 hybrids while in Poland most aren`t and traditional farmers use old Polish cultivars from decades ago.

This one is the best for Polish climate and for fermenting. Do you see Polish colours on the packet? Read and learn, głąbie kapuściany. Ha!

Me? I never argue, remember. You are arguing all the time, berating Polish bigos and supporting your buddies who say it is dog vomit. Ha!


You shouldn`t mention Mickiewicz who was a political emigrant exiled by Russian authorities while you emigrated to the USA chasing money! Ha!


Yes, I understand that as an emigrant, you have always been jealous of Poles who are living in Poland. Ha!

Mine aren't.
You can buy Polish cabbage seeds here in the U.S.A.


While in Poland "most" aren't but some are.
In the U.S. most of our cabbage comes from Canada.
Sit you down blindfolded for a taste test of six different kinds and you couldn't tell the difference if it was grown in Poland, the U.S., Canada, Russia or if it was F1 or G2.

And the ones in the picture are hybrid seeds, aren't they ?
You are always an authority on things you know nothing about.

Mine?? You don`t grow any veg. Stop twisting. :)


hahaha Yes, Ptak`s bigos made with Canadian cabbage is really Polish.


Of course not. It is an old Polish cultivar, already used 50 years ago.

Prove it


Stop twisting it, I said "most" of our cabbage comes from Canada.
I am sure Ptak grows his own cabbage from Polish seed but he would never tell you just to keep you guessing.
Besides, what makes Polands cabbage so special.
My guess is that hey are very inferior to a hybrid.


So you are telling us that you are eating 50 year old used cabbage now.
My cabbage is bigger than your cabbage. Na Na Na !

Of course coz yours is GM. Simple.


That you aren`t a grower? Coz you have never mentioned it since 2014, even when you commented on my posts in Farming threads.


No, he doesn`t. He isn`t a hard-working farmer type, he prefers easy hunting. Blood is thicker than soil to him. :):)

Spot on.
If we ever had a bigos cook off, there is no doubt Ptak would win it hands down.
That sour bitter Polish cabbage just doesn't cut it compared to the sweet hybrid stuff.


Oh, so that is your proof ? lmao

I suspect not only is your cabbage bigger, Heeeee. The world's most significant grown in Alaska is fifty pounds per head on average. Please keep it a secret from Paw

as his friend; I want to protect him from developing a hernia. Five-pounder is all he can safely handle:::)))

OK, large and heavy, indeed. So you were right. I am sorry for suggesting it is made of ice. :):):)

The first sign of humility, Good for the start. I hope this is the beginning of the long road to rehabilitation and continued friendship:::)))

Well it's time for swięta and that means a digital detox too. We have herrings, barscz and polish salad so keeping up the traditions. I wish all PFers a very happy holy days and a rocking new years eve. and remember to be nice on this forum over this sacred time.

Merry Christmas everyone!


Good idea! :)

I will answer the hunting question after the Holidays. It is impossible to discuss a subject you know very little about and not get frustrated, leading to coarse language. Peace on earth. Platonic love, understanding, and tolerance. God is borne.

The Son of God is born.

Only on condition you stop critisizing my amasing Polish bigos. You did it here and how did it end?? - with your emotional breakdown and abuse of other posters. We don`t need anymore of it. Ha!


Try to stay calm, for God`s sake. :):)

Everyone, please stick to the topic of the thread.

Exactly. That is why I decided to have my Polish bigos with corn on TWO cobs. Just to honour you, a Polish expat in America. I added two avocado halves with bigos filling, I hope you won`t mind coz Mexico is America`s closest neighbour and you surely know a lot of good Mexicans in your neighbourhood.

The taste - incomparable to anything you have eaten so far.

@pawian
Now I know why your last post was so long ago. You got indigestion.🥘

What is it???


I was spending time with family.

Dyspepsia.....

A German dish? I don`t know how to cook it.

@pawian
Take Kartoffelsalat, mix with Wiener würstchen, drink Kräuterlikör, then smoke a one. Dyspepsia is fertig.

@Pawian

Your bigos looks very pale...

Yes, coz I used a flash while taking a photo. And my camera settings were on enhanced light, too.
How about now?
If it still looks too pale, the reason might be that I eventually didn`t add tomato paste. I can be so forgetful.

Forgive me, please. Bang, bang, bang - the sound that my head is producing while contacting the surface of my desk.

It looks like something from a homeless food pantry. LOL

You are an expert on homelessness, we presume. Very well! :):)
I mean very well that you can share your expertise in the forum. But we pity your condition nevertheless.

You are right; the color resembles mizeria , much closer than bigos, Not to mention the crazy additions. However, bigos is perfect the way it is; his experimenting is a great subtraction instead of multiplication.

Consider the afront to delicious razowiec, the only allowable addition.

Don`t be silly, change your monitor colour settings and you will see it in normal colour again. :):):)


Who set the only allowable additions??? :):):)


My experimenting is a result of my general versatility. which also encompasses taste. Experiment in my second name.
With or without experiments, it is still classical Polish bigos. Anybody who denies it is an azhole. Simple.

Yeah? I retort: Anyone who excepts avocado and corn as excepted additions is a quadruple azhole Heeeee

I can add anything as a side dish and it is still Polish bigos. Ha!

I didn't think it looked much like mizeria (one of the nicer Polish dishes). I've seen bigos that pale a few times, though the darker one with red wine is always better.


It works well served in giant Yorkshire puddings (as does anything really).
