Definitely a surprise to find out about the copper product 0in Poland.

Most people have no idea where Europe's copper comes from.

Poland is the answer.

KGHM — a Polish state company — operates some of the deepest copper mines in the world, right beneath the plains of Lower Silesia.

Poland produces more copper than any other country in Europe. It supplies the wiring, the pipes, the infrastructure that keeps the continent running.

The engine of Europe is buried under Polish soil.

UPDATE: TODAY, April 3rd 🎬

TVNZ 1 will screen the Polish 2017 drama, "The Zookeeper's Wife" tomorrow on Good Friday, April 3, 2026 @ 7:55pm.

The film retells the story of Antonina Żabińska's heroic efforts, along with her husband Jan's help, to save the animals kept at the Warsaw Zoo. More importantly, the couple was able to hide and shelter many individuals, mostly Polish Jews from being captured by the German N**i occupiers. The action takes place during WWII. It is partially based on Antonina's diaries.

We pit The Zookeeper's Wife movie vs. the true story of Antonina and Jan Zabinski, comparing the movie to the book based on Antonina Zabinski's diary.

Kapusniak, sauerkraut soup and bigos, hunter's stew, both made with sauerkraut bit they are two very different dishes. No surprise that both have similar tangy notes from the preserved pickled cabbage. Polish sauerkraut can be purchased easily, off the shelf and in a jar, at the local PaknSave store in Dunedin.

Enjoy making both dishes.
The recipe for hunters stew was posted yesterday.

Once the story of cruel events are written down, they becomes history. One of the few survivours of the German N**i camps cautions against raising nationalism around the world currently. She is a "primary source" and a witness to the past be******ty of the N**is. Music, but most probably pure luck played a role in saving her life. No rhyme or reason.

Due to similar circumstances, one should remember to heed the same warnings, as recounted in in the stories of the survivors of the Doviet that was melted indiscrim

Basics of bigos, Polish hunter's stew.
There are as many different recipes for making bigos as there are cooks, if not even more.

Each family has its own favourite ingredient that they add. I love bigos with prunes which are added during the stewing phase. What is yours?
Freezing bigos improved its taste, but the question remains, 'will there be any leftovers'.

Try this simple recipe for traditional Polish Hunter’s Stew, also known as Bigos. It is a very delicious and hearty dinner, that you can make easily!
