Changes

In this post I'm going to continue about the history of bigos, the Polish national dish, and also return to ''Pan Tadeusz'', the Polish national epic. We've already discussed what the protagonists of ''Pan Tadeusz'' [[Epic Cooking: Breakfast at Judge Soplica's|used to have for breakfast]], but what we omitted back then was the hunters' breakfast from Book IV of the poem. That one took the form of a picnic, out in the woods, shared by a group of hunters who had just successfully concluded a bear hunt (although the bear itself was shot by Father Worm, who mysteriously disappeared a moment later).
