“Have some more bigos,” my father would say. And before anyone could put their spoon down, he would have swiped their half-done plate and returned it, topped up with more Polish Hunters Stew, a centuries old dish.

If you’ve ever attended a church potluck, the scene of young children racing in the hallways, aging seniors carefully carrying their plates full of small servings of a variety of dishes, and parents attempting to calm their excited children and convince them to eat may sound familiar to you.

One of the ladies in the community at my father's long-term care facility would make the most delicious hot cross buns. They are still the best comfort food I’ve ever eaten.
