To burn it off
The rogal świętomarciński is Poznań's croissant for 11 November: a big horseshoe of flaky pastry filled with white poppy seeds, nuts, dried fruit and almond, glazed and covered in nuts. Its name is protected, so only bakeries with a certificate may call it that.
A whole one is about 860 kcal, with 100 g of carbs, 14 g of protein and 45 g of fat. That is a meal and a half in one pastry, and nobody in Poznań is surprised by it.
If you are visiting Poland in November, you will find it everywhere in the city. Half is 430, against 250 for an ordinary bakery croissant.
