The traditional Polish food in the opinion of students of the University of Warmia and Mazuria in Olsztyn
Abstract
The increased interest in culinary heritage as an integral part of the identity of the country is observed in Poland recently. Current students will probably shape the future “culinary consciousness” of Poles, therefore studies aimed at understanding the opinions and attitudes of students towards traditional Polish food were undertaken. The research was conducted in 2015 among 100 randomly selected students from various faculties of the University of Warmia and Mazuria in Olsztyn using author’s developed survey sheet. The respondents consisted of a single age group of 20–24 years. Among the respondents prevailed women (58%). Most of respondents came from small (42%) and medium (22%) cities. Residents of rural areas and big cities accounted for 18% of respondents.
Over 70% of respondents showed a good understanding of the defi nition of traditional food, however, it should be stressed that far more women (83%) compared to men (60%) indicated the correct answer. In the opinion of respondents, although traditional food is delicious (54%), high quality (50%) and healthy (36%), it is eaten occasionally (holidays, family celebrations). According to the surveyed students, most famous traditional Polish products are: dumplings with cabbage and mushrooms (81%), oscypek (sheep smoked cheese) (79%), angel wings (75%) and bagels, white sausage and żur (sausage sour soup) (at 68%), and the least known is harynki (herrings in onion sauce) (4%), fefernuszki (a kind of honey cake) (9%) and smoked carp from Zator (9%). More than half of the students (52%) declared they buy traditional products mainly because of curiosity of new taste or to diversify the menu (26% and 25% respectively). The main reason not to buy the traditional food was the opinion that the price is high (42%) and accessibility diffi cult (37%). In the opinion of respondents, traditional food should be advertised, and as the best form the online (46%) and television (43%) advertising was indicated. It should be noted that knowledge about European quality mark system of traditional food among the surveyed students is relatively low.
