A semi-French pastry croissant filled with white poppy seed paste, walnuts, almond flavour, raisins and candied fruit, glazed with sugar and finished with crushed nuts.

Baked in Poznań since at least the 1860s, the rogal świętomarciński became the city's defining sweet symbol around the feast of St. Martin on 11 November. In 2008 the European Union entered the name on its Protected Geographical Indication register, meaning only pastries baked in a specific way in Greater Poland can use it. The Cech Cukierników i Piekarzy w Poznaniu certifies producers each year and the city eats between 250 and 400 tonnes annually, with hundreds of tonnes sold around 11 November alone.
