DAY COME FROM?

many ways to prepare it. Basic bigos’s ingredients are: pickled cabbage, fresh cabbage, different kinds of meat, dried mushrooms, dried plums, onion,spices.

LardLard is a pig fat. During the 19th century,

lard was used in a similar fashion as butter in North America and many European nations. Lard was also held at the same level of popularity as butter in the early 20th century and was widely used as a substitute for butter during World War II. However, despite its reputation, lard has less saturated fat, more unsaturated fat, and less cholesterol than an equal amount of butter by weight. Unlike many margarines and vegetable shortenings, unhydrogenated lard contains no trans fat. It has also been regarded as a "poverty food". However, in the 1990s and early 2000s, the unique culinary properties of lard became widely recognized by chefs and bakers, leading to a partial rehabilitation of this fat among "foodies". It is also again becoming popular in the United Kingdom among aficionados of traditional British cuisine.

FaworkiAt the beginning faworki consisted of donut’s cake and

by that they were indigestible. Now they are crispy and light. A legend says that a young confectioner dropped a stripe of donut’s cake on the hot oil. A stripe changed into a braid and confectioner scared, wanting to avoid punishment, sprinkled it with sugar. It gave a new delicacy. This cakes originally came from Lithuania and Germany.

Vodka

Arabian scientists from Andalusia distilled alcohol as first in VIIIth century. It is regarded that alcohol is a painkiller. When people began to use to distill grain alcohol, through greater access to barley and rye, vodka were produced for human consumption. From 1405 came the first written mention of vodka, which is in the court documents of Sandomierz. In the XVIIth century drinking vodka became a rule of social life, and in the reign of the Saxons ability to consume unimaginable amounts of alcohol began to escalate to the name of virtue and enjoy great respect.
