Does anyone here have a good, tried and true recipe for Bigos?

I had a delicious version at a local Polish restaurant and I'd like to try it at home. I could surf all of the cooking sites that I have bookmarked but I'm hoping someone here has a family recipe or facsimile.

after which a photograph of.....uh, something

There's no primitive responses, perhaps because the primitives like franksolich have no idea what a "bigo" is.

The photograph looks like a loaf of homemade bread, unsliced.

The center of the bread is gouged out, making a "bowl" out of the loaf.

Then it looks as if someone put fried hamburger into the "bowl."

Any ideas?

Its sauerkraut and sausage stew - has other things like stewed tomatoes and whatnot in it as well. Its a very acidic meal, that really needs to be eaten with a nice hardy bread to keep it from coming back up - Im surprised you hadn't come across it in your Eastern European travels, or perhaps you have, but with another name.

You don't know what a bigo is? How's it feel to be dumber than a pollock?

I might have seen food like it, but never paid attention.

And of course, being deaf, I would've never heard what it was called.

I know I never ate anything like that, because my principle rule is, if you don't know what's in it, don't eat it.

The ingredients--but not the preparation and final appearance--sound very much like what we call "runzas" in Nebraska.

Indeed. I am not afraid to try most foods once, but If i have no idea what is in it, its simply not going on my plate. If I ask 'What's in it ?' and the reply is 'Try if first', I will almost always respond with 'No, thank you.' After looking up runzas, I have to agree, it seems to be a different preparation of similar ingredients. Less wet and sloppy than Bigos are.
