Boiled potatoes in their skins served with gzik, a Greater Poland curd cheese mixed with soured cream, onion, chives and parsley, eaten with a glass of buttermilk.

Pyry is the Greater Poland dialect word for potatoes; in Poznań it carries enough cultural weight that 'pyrlandia' is a colloquial name for the city itself. Gzik is the regional curd-cheese preparation, related to but distinct from the eastern-Polish twaróg. The dish is the canonical Greater Poland everyday lunch, served in milk bars, regional bistros and at Pyra Bar at fast-casual prices. The combination predates the partitions and is the city's clearest culinary link to its peasant Piast past.
