Bigos! A Polish culinary delight Bigos (bee-gose) is a Polish national dish, which, according to historians "has been romanticized in poetry, discussed in its most minute details in all sorts of literary contexts, and never made in small quantities." The most famous literary monument to bigos can be found in Pan Tadeusz, a heroic poem venerated as the Polish national epic, extolling the country life of Polish noblemen, written by Adam Mickiewicz in 1834.
