Eat obwarzanek

It is common to see vendors selling large, twisted bagel-shaped ring bread coated with sesame or poppy seeds, along the Royal Route, shopping areas, market and even harbour. That’s obwarzanek. Light brown in colour and with a twisted surface, it is usually chewy and dense, and is heavier than bagel. It is believed to be the precursor to bagel. Normally it is sweet and is consumed as such or is dipped in tea or coffee. However, there are savoury versions available as well, with cheese, salt, and other spices. Many bakeries have it on their menu and some restaurants also serve it along with food.
