About the event
Family interactions during the preparation of meals and the joy of eating and drinking. Memories of growing up with the scents and flavours of food from home: potatoes, beets, onions, cabbage, pierogi, ogórki, uszka, żurek, dark rye bread… Polish cuisine blends hearty peasant dishes and more elegant gourmet fare, served with flair and a generous helping of hospitality. But how did it evolve, and what does it look like today here in Canada?
Ogniwo Polish Museum’s current exhibit, Smacznego! Polish Food Traditions, Then & Now, continues on through 2022.
We explore the many impacts of food on our lives – historical, social, and cultural—and the amazing ability of food to bring us together, help create memories, and build family and community connections.
How did Polish immigrants incorporate ingredients and methods they knew from home in their new environments? What new dishes and eating habits did Polish immigrant cooks, grocers, and restaurateurs introduce to the cultural mainstream?
We invite you to join us in our exhibit space to learn more and to find comfort in the traditions of Polish food.
When: Mondays 7-9 pm Where: Ogniwo Polish Museum, 1417 Main Street, Winnipeg
