Cooking and eating are not only necessary activities of life. They can be a feast for the senses, a solace for the soul, an extraordinary, slightly hedonistic journey into the depths of yourself and the past. The experience of eating is an extraordinary journey, which you can also take in time and space. Due to its rich history, location on the Baltic Sea and many cultures, Gdansk has to offer a whole range of extraordinary dishes created during its 1000 years of existence.
First of all, and this might surprise some, a pineapple is not a fruit but rather a fruiting body—each "scale" is a small fruit fused into a large, symmetrical cluster. We owe our acquaintance with this South American sweet treat to the explorers of the New World, who were so delighted with its taste that they decided to bring it to the Old Continent.
Despite its long history, cheese, apart from cottage cheese, is rarely featured in old cookbooks. There are no recipes for cheese toast or baked pasta dishes. This is due to a completely different status that cheese held within the meal structure.
This remedy would undoubtedly bring great pleasure to the one consuming it, but the following day it might come with some unwanted side effects from overindulgence... We’re talking about the famous Gdansk vodka – Goldwasser. While there’s no evidence that it ever cured anyone, it’s undeniable that it’s one of the most recognizable culinary products of Gdansk. Its reputation extends beyond Poland and Europe and has done so for centuries.
The idea of freezing drinks or mixing fruit juices with ice or snow was also developed by ancient Indians, Greeks, Romans, and Arab peoples. And by the way, did you notice that these first "ices" were actually sorbets? This state of affairs persisted until the Renaissance, when in Italy, crema fiorentina was created, something similar to a frozen cream-based eggnog.
Herring is a widely known and healthy fish, mainly associated with a snack to accompany vodka or as a component of Lenten dishes. The anchovy, more commonly known by its Italian name anchois, is a small, fatty fish with a very salty and intense flavor. Both types of fish were preserved using a similar method – salting – which is why some old Polish recipes mention that they can be used interchangeably.
These small crustaceans have long been a symbol of elegance and good taste. Their exquisite flavor was highly regarded, and despite changing culinary fashions, they never lost their value. Recipes for preparing crayfish have been preserved in many old cookbooks, including the Danzig Cookbook by Maria Rosnack from 1858.
Initially, beer was drunk through a straw because it didn’t resemble the beverage we know today at all. It was a cloudy liquid with the consistency of a paste, with chunks of bread floating in it. Not very appetizing, right? Fortunately, these humble beginnings eventually led to the refreshing and flavorful drink we enjoy today.
Around 200 BC, plantations of these fruits were developed in China, and the lemons were so valuable that only the highest-ranking government officials could expect a share. Lemons arrived in Europe thanks to Alexander the Great, or rather, through the "botanical explorers" he employed.
This saying used to circulate in Gdansk, referring to the iconic cream-filled wafer rolls sold from a tiny window on Długi Targ. Why "once a year"? Because they were a special treat—both festive and a must-have on any trip to Gdansk.
Some remember it with sentiment, nostalgically returning in their thoughts to summers spent at their grandmother's house, while others, on the other hand, hate it with all their hearts, seeing it as a nightmare of school cafeterias, a poor version of a proper meal, simply a culinary failure. Unfortunately, the second option dominates, and fruit soups have been relegated to the past.
The role of the queen as a promoter of fresh vegetables and their growing popularity among the nobility, burghers, and even the lower classes is often overstated. As the records from the chancellery of Sigismund I the Old suggest, the same products were still being bought for the kitchen as a century earlier. The only thing we can truly credit her for is the introduction of the word “włoszczyzna” (a term for a mix of vegetables), which is unique worldwide and does not appear in any other language.
Let’s start by looking at the oldest recipe for this treat, found in the first Polish cookbook – Compendium Ferculorum by Stanisław Czerniecki, published in 1682. The recipe seems incredibly simple, consisting of only three ingredients, and its preparation is briefly described in two sentences.
