Dennis, At first I thought you were getting some Japanese re-release of BEST REMIXES I but, as it turns out, that was the Austrian version. You can tell by looking at the CD itself...somewhere on there it denotes that its Austrian. Plus, the catalog ## on the side is the Austrian, not the Japanese, number. All Sony Japan 5" CDs start with the letters "ESCA" (or something along those lines...). > If there are any more hidden treasures out there that I should have, > let me know now. My wallet is still open, but the moths are starting > to take over! I know I shouldn't open my mouth, but I've found a ton of hidden places on the Internet itself. Those two 7" Matt Bianco singles with the unknown tracks on the back (and the super neat picture sleeves) came from a place on the net. Plus, I've just ordered about 8 or 9 CDs from this place in Europe - a couple UK promos, a couple foreign singles and promos, and an Austrian CD Single for "Half a Minute" (don't ask me why). But I STILL can't find that #@$&ing ESK-1276!!!!! That's like my last hole in the CD collection (that I know of). Toodles! JSL. ------------------------------ From: "J.S.

Actually, bigos is a stew, commonly called "Hunter's Stew", which is a cabbage based dish, with whatever meat that is handy (theoretically whatever the great hunter brought home), potatoes and other vegetables and also sauerkraut. Sound tasty? It really is. My wife and her mother make a variation which amounts to a soup, more or less, but the meat ingredient is smoked Polish sausage. You just don't want to eat too much if you have to be around other people later, if you get my drift.;) Stuffed cabbage, BTW, is called golabki and is a different dish altogether. I wish I had Polish fonts loaded in my machine, because I need to add some little hickeys to the "l" and "a" in golabki. (It's pronounced go-womb-key.) Ms T's version is probably similar to what I have had, but the thrill would be in eating something she personally cooked! > I've been to two Russian immersions and a family dinner at my gf's (whose > grandmother is very Polish) parents' house - Slavic food has to be the > most disgusting slop on the face of the Earth. It all smells rank, too. I rather enjoy it. My mother was a fine cook, but being a second generation Polish-American, some of the Polish recipes changed over time. When I met my wife and her parents and grandmother (who came from Europe in the 50's), I found that European Polish cuisine was different from what I had experienced. It is quite good. Nothing like good solid peasant dishes. Stick to the ribs stuff. I'm getting hungry... Den - ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dennis J.
