Bigos Description

Should you wonder how a Polish restaurant can justify opening up in Scotland's capital city, rest assured that there are reputed to be some twenty thousand Polish workers who have arrived in Scotland in the last two years with the intention of honing the Scottish economy and their own wellbeing. The culinary aspirations which they bring with them must feel comfortable there too, since nobody would accuse the Scots of being light on the carbohydrates.

Should you wonder how a Polish restaurant can justify opening up in Scotland's capital city, rest assured that there are reputed to be some twenty thousand Polish workers who have arrived in Scotland in the last two years with the intention of honing the Scottish economy and their own wellbeing.

The culinary aspirations which they bring with them must feel comfortable there too, since nobody would accuse the Scots of being light on the carbohydrates. With bread and sausages high on the list of Polish preferred items, say no more. Indeed bigos is a favourite Polish dish of smoked sausage and cabbage. Flaki, boczek and barszcz are also to be seen in the more socially aware delis.

What can be said in favour of Polish cuisine is that whilst it may not always look great, it is certainly filling and nourishing, though beetroot broth, often drunk in a mug as in tea, must take some getting used to.

The other thing about Bigos - the restaurant - is its prices, which are phenomenally low. With dinner costing around £10 can you really afford not to at least give it a try?

But do not expect a licence.
