Recipe
Can you put the recipe in Wikibooks:Cookbook?159753 20:15, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I could, but even though Wikipedia is not supposed to be a cookbook, I think the presence of this brief recipe is acceptable here. The only reason I included it was to give readers a better idea of the dish - not to encourage them to try a recipe. I you feel otherwise, or if there is an unwritten rule that generally forbids the inclusion of recipes here, that's fine, and I am not going to protest if you remove it. Still, I for one would prefer to keep it for the time being. --Thorsten1 17:43, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * PS: I put the recipe in the Cookbook anyway . --Thorsten1 17:54, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Added headings and links to the cookbook entry. Thanks for contributing over there. Mrtea (talk) 04:57, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, nobody eats bigos with potatoes. Bigos is only served on big holidays and nobody even thinks of boiling potatoes and ruining the taste. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.199.198.237 (talk) 22:35, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I eat bigos with potatoes, for about a week and a half in the middle of winter, during which I keep the pot going by adding ingredients as they become depleted. No holidays involved.--BillFlis (talk) 03:07, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * … and Żerańska's book (see References) suggests serving both bigos myśliwski and bigos warszawski with potatoes or rye bread. Maybe you are of the exclusively rye bread camp. She also has some short chapters on various holidays and special occasions; she lists bigos on menus for the second day of Xmas, New Year's Eve, dinner parties, and banquets. But this is an old book (1968) and times change; for example, Xmas Eve is no longer meatless.--BillFlis (talk) 09:59, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
 * And you in any case never, I emphasize never, drain bigos. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.75.167.214 (talk) 18:29, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

almost correct :-)
"it may derive from German begossen, meaning "doused" or "basted"." No, from "der Beiguß". It came to Poland from Germany, via "multi-kulti" Silesia.

Poland? Yes, today.
"Originally from Poland" No, originally from the German "lands", it was a hunter´s dish.
 * Sounds like mixing up kraut and бигус together, Herr Anon. It's like mixing up cervelat, Bavarian smokey sausages and Vienna sausages as "all German"... 109.252.66.34 (talk) 14:07, 5 February 2023 (UTC
