Spice level warning — Bigos is not what I expected

I underestimated Bigos. The rich and comforting description didn't prepare me for the reality. smoked sausage brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.

the Christmas Eve wigilia meal has strict traditional rules including twelve meatless dishes. The a Warsaw milk bar setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. kompot fruit drink cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
