Chapter 541: Wine and Bigos Culture

Poles start with soup, which comes in the form of beet soup, egg drop soup, barley soup, and barley soup, with eggs and sausages.

There are many types of main dishes, such as tonkatsu pancakes and soft cheese, as well as various types of dumplings, such as meat, potatoes, cheese or blueberries.

And when it comes to Polish wine culture......

Polish vodka (ODKA) is famous all over the world, and the brands of "Yboroa", "Zubroka", "Luksusoa" and "Belvedere" are well-known almost everywhere.

Historically, the production of Polish specialty alcoholic beverages began with beer, okoita, and the Polish shochu "palikotoka" (formerly known as the eaux-de-vie spirit), followed by vodka.

Polish shochu "Palikotovka" is an eaux-de-vie spirit, made according to an ancient Polish recipe preserved in Jablonna, Lublin region.

The grain-based eaux-de-vie settle in oak barrels, and the longer they age, the more mellow the wine becomes.

Selected excipients walnut and raisin extracts give this vodka a fragrant, delicate and smooth taste.

Polish shochu "Palikotovka" shochu is a must-try for connoisseurs.

Bison grass vodka......

Poland's specialty is pure vodka, and its crown is not boutique vodka, which has entered the foreign market ambitiously.

It is sold to 70 countries, and the countries that love it the most are Italy, Mexico, France, Canada and Germany, including China. Fine vodka has already won 20 awards at international competitions, three-quarters of which are gold.

Among the vodkas with aroma and vanilla extract, the most popular is the cow grass vodka, commonly known as cowgrass liquor, which is made from carefully selected rectified alcohol.

Experts value its exceptional aroma and taste, as each bottle is infused with buffalo grass leaves, which give the wine a pale yellow colour and a more fragrant flavour.

This grass grows only in the Białowiewski Forest in Poland.

The appetizing bitter vodka (gorzkazoladkoa) (despite its name, its taste is quite sweet) also has many adherents. It is made from small oranges with vanilla and natural caramel.

The famous Gdansk goldasser is so popular that visitors to Gdansk bring back a few bottles of it as gifts for friends and family.

It is a vodka made from rhizomes and herbs according to a 16th-century recipe.

This wine is made with some aromatic essential oils and sprinkled with a little gold dust, which sparkles in the transparent liquor, and many wine collectors often treasure this wine in their wine cabinets.

Polish sauerkraut "Bigoss" is a traditional Polish delicacy, which is stewed with a variety of cabbage and a variety of meats, with a unique taste and aroma, and everyone will praise it after eating it.

Poles have long enjoyed the Polish sauerkraut "Bicos", a dish that has been on the Polish table since the Middle Ages, and is a favorite of the aristocracy and the party-goers living in the city.

Polish sauerkraut "Bicous" is also deeply rooted in everyday spoken language.

When the Poles wanted to describe something indescribable, they would say "good must be high"; If we say to do "bicous" it means to cause confusion (because Polish sauerkraut "bicos" is made from ingredients such as chopped different kinds of cabbage). There are many variations of this dish, and each kitchen prepares it in a slightly different way.

There is a saying in Poland: if there are two Poles, there will be three Polish sauerkraut "Bigos".

Polish sauerkraut "Bicos" is made from pickled cabbage and fresh cabbage in any proportion. Chop the cabbage as little as possible, then add it to the prepared beef sauce and stir-fry it with the onion in hot oil.

Then add stir-fried meat: pork, beef, poultry, duck, rabbit, wild boar, the more varieties the better.

The same applies to smoked meat, but not smoked bacon and sausages.

After that, the "bicos" is added with tomato puree, dried wild mushrooms, smoked plums, apples, and a variety of spices and herbs; Marjoram, pepper, juniper, peppermint, rue, sage, basil, tarragon, rosemary and others.

In this regard, every chef can use his culinary imagination.

Polish sauerkraut "Bicos" takes a long time to make, so in order to have a pure taste and good texture, you should use a large frying pan as much as possible.

Because it tends to stick to the bottom of the pan, it needs to be stirred frequently.

Polish sauerkraut "Bicos" can be made with good dry wine, and in order to make "Bicos" taste better, it should be cooled, frozen, and reheated, and this process should be repeated several times.

After a few days of such "processing", the taste is the most mellow, especially in winter, eating this dish will make people feel warm and warm.

Polish Dance: The most important of Polish dances is the pas de deux, which shows that Poland is much more influenced by Western Europe and other Central European countries (such as the Czech Republic and Hungary) than the Balkans.

Polish pas de deux emphasizes the freedom of movement in space, and another way of saying it is that the figures are more important than the precision of the steps, and it is characterized by the change in the tempo of the dance music.

Men's stunts can only be seen in dances from the mountains. In the theater performances of Poloon dance, many shadows of Central European and Russian dances are often found, but in fact, the display and imitation of many dance characteristics naturally spread among groups of dance groups.
