STORY
„Pyry” with “gzik” is a dish of Greater Poland cuisine consisting of potatoes (pyry) and properly seasoned cottage cheese (gzik). The dish was created in the 19th century, when potatoes became very popular. It was a typical fasting meal. Thanks to the fact that “pyry and gzik” are appreciated by the inhabitants and tourists visiting Poznań, this dish has become a unique symbol of the region. In 2007, “gzik” was included in the Polish List of Traditional Products.
