The harvester’s pot was introduced in an old recipe prepared by housewives from the Żarnowiec region. Today, it is rarely prepared, for harvest celebrations only. Dozens of years ago, women used to bring their harvesting men a pot filled with two types of meat and vegetables. The “pot” was a very filling meal and it fully satisfied the harvesters, adding them strength to continue their work.

 

 

This meal was prepared by the Country Homemakers’ Association from Żarnowiec during the 1st "Silesian Tastes Festival 2006" in Ogrodzieniec.
