But these need to be Wisznia, a sour cherry (Wisznowka). Normal cherries don't taste as good made this way. Also can be made with raspberries (Malinowka). After you let sit for 3-4 weeks, you have to pour out the liquid (using cheese cloth) and add 5-6 cups of sugar to the fruit. Let sit for another 3 weeks in warmth/sun and again drain out liquid and add sweet syrup to 1st batch of liquid removed. Let sit until it settles and then remove cleared liquid off of the top.

Yes.
You don't have to. Some make white bigos with no tomato. Mine? I use tomato sauce. 2 small cans and I also add a little red wine
Prunes if you like, but don't have to. Mushrooms a must! For me anyway. I use Borowik szlachetny...very good dried mushrooms.
Maybe :)
do you people actually cook or just sit here talking about it?
Yes.
am still on the fence on whether I want to add tomato...

Ours aren't nearly as nice looking any time of the year. I love the fact that most PL families still pay respect and visit frequently adding flowers and candles. I've seen teh cemetaries lit up on other days as well and not just all saints day.

Most are in glass so unless someone intentionally lights the cemetary on fire...prob not. It's cool, they sell tons of candles/flowers right outside of the cemetary.

Life / Wszystkich Świętych (All Saints Day) // Dzien Zaduszny (All Souls day) [93]
All Saints' Day is a festival which has been celebrated in Poland and the rest of the Catholic world for many centuries. All Saints Day is a national holiday, and a day when people all over Poland visit the graves of loved ones and to place candles and flowers on graves. The special candles, which can burn for many hours, are placed there so that departed souls can find their way through the darkness. Cemeteries are lit by many hundreds of these candles and at night the cemeteries can often be seen glowing from long distances. Many Poles travel long distances to visit family graves and to remember the dead. The holiday is also sometimes known as the Day of the Dead.
The 2nd of November called the Day of All Souls (Zaduszki) is the special occasions to pray for our family members and for these that died but are still in purgatory waiting their time to be able to enter heaven. The masses are held in the churches just like the day before. Additionally, the names of the descendants are read by priests during the services and all pray together for these souls. This day is usually gloomier and more hazy and rainy than the November 1st in Poland.

You're not striking up a good arguement here. Of course nobody is pure white. What is your point with all of this. All you're doing is posting poics of people and commenting on their literal skin color.
