Bigos (Polish Hunter Stew)

I made this the other day. It's definitely different from most stews I've had, but is quite good, especially on a cold day. I work with some folks in Poland, and this is kind of a national dish for them.
There's a recipe at the link below. I didn't follow this exactly -- no juniper berries or prunes -- but it was very tasty. I used bacon, sausage and pork chops for the meat. Some recipes call for any kind of game that you have handy. It also includes onions, cabbage, sauerkraut, carrots, garlic, caraway, marjoram, black pepper, tomatoes, and beer.

I would definitely eat that. I had a deer stew with prunes in Germany and it was awesome. I’d bet the juniper berries and prunes really add to the dish.
