Polish open-faced toasted baguette topped with sauteed mushrooms, melted cheese and a drizzle of ketchup or mayonnaise. Poznań street-food canon from the 1970s socialist era.
Zapiekanka was invented in 1970s socialist Poland as a cheap, filling lunch made from staples: a halved baguette, fried mushrooms, cheese and ketchup. It became the canonical Polish street food of the 1980s. Bufet Truck Zapiekanki on Plac Wolności is the city's named operator; the format also lives at every Stary Rynek night kiosk and the Poznań version comes loaded compared with the original. A late-night essential.
