This recipe was taken from POLISH COOKING - Marianna Olszewska Heberle A 
harmonious blend of flavors known as the Polish national dish. Rinse 
sauerkraut with cold water; drain well.  In a large stockpot, combine 
sauerkraut, ham or pork, bay leaves, mushrooms, peppercorns, allspice and 
salt.  Add 6 cups broth, bouillon or water.  Cook, uncovered, 15 minutes 
over medium heat.  Cover and simmer over low heat 45 minutes.  Remove 
meat.  Let meat cool.  Place cabbage in a large saucepan.  Add remaining 5 
cups broth, bouillon or water.  Bring to boil.  Cook, uncovered, over 
medium heat, 1 hour or until cabbage is tender.  Add to sauerkraut 
mixture.  Bone cooked meat.  Cut cooked meat into 1/2-inch cubes.  Melt 
butter or margarine in a large skillet.  Add cooked meat, smoked sausage 
and white sausage.  Saute over medium heat 10 minutes or until browned.  
Add to sauerkraut mixture.  In same skillet, saute bacon over medium heat 
until crisp.  Drain bacon on paper towels.  Add to sauerkraut mixture.  
Cover; cook over low heat 1 hour or longer.  Remove and discard bay 
leaves.  Serve hot.  Makes 12 to 14 servings. Use only meat with large 
bones, so bones can be removed easily.  The secret of old-time Bigos is 
that it gets better as it's reheated on successive days, peaking at the 
6th or 7th day.  In between, store covered in the refrigerator.
