I remember back in Siberia, USSR my parents were making bigos often enough when I was a kid. Had no idea it was polish food. We have no Poles in our ancestry
It’s a dish you cook when the only food that’s left is sauerkraut and some unlucky meat you found wandering around in the forest - not surprising in the least multiple cultures figured it out independently.
Nothing special. I was educated and lived in a satellite town where nearly everyone was a scientist working in USSR's academy of Science. Became scientist myself then was invited and moved to Canada

Or some people in Siberia simply learned it from Poles sent there to the prisons there in the 19th century.
You've earned your Bigos today.
Heh. No animosity meant towards Russian people in that comment. :)
Accept my apology then
What was living in Siberia like?
