Anatomy of a knysza

One bite and you’re back in Poland. Summer of ’93 - walking the pier in Sopot with sand still in your shoes, or crossing Kraków’s market square at dusk. The hum of the crowd, seagulls arguing over crumbs, warm bread and grilled meat drifting from a little stand on the corner. And you - already planning your next knysza before you’ve finished the first.

Keep scrolling - we'll take it apart for you, ingredient by ingredient.
