- Comment: A Google search reveals several sources, but I don't know enough Polish to tell if they're reliable. If this is a well known national dish in Poland, it's probably inherently notable.Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:24, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
Pasztecik szczeciński
Pasztecik szczeciński, pasztecik (plural paszteciki szczecińskie) - a kind of machine-produced deep-fried yeast dough stuffed with meat or vegeterian filling, served in specialized bars as a fastfood, different from Polish home-cuisine dishes, which also are called "pasztecik". Typical dish of Szczecin, Poland, where it was highly popular in the communist times and retains this popularity also nowadays, becoming moreover a cultural phenomenon of locality [regionalism?] and old-fashion [please correct my English :)]. The filling consists of: 1) minced beef (the oldest and the most popular), 2) sauerkraut and dried mushrooms or 3) cheese and champignons. During the times of People's Republic of Poland, when lack of meat on the market was occuring frequently, it was common to replace meat stuffing with egg paste. The dough is crispy oustide and is gentle and soft inside. The minced beef filling resembles pâté, the Polish word "pasztecik" is diminutive of the word "pasztet" (pâté). Usually served with clear, spicy red barszcz. It cant't be frozen or warmed again.
The first bar serving "pasztecik szczeciński", Bar "Pasztecik" (still functioning), is located on Wojska Polskiego Avenue and was founded in 1969, using machines imported from the Soviet Union army stationing in Szczecin, which could produce fastly large amount of food for the Soviet soldiers. The machine, weighting over one tone, is able to produce over 600 "pasztecik" during an hour. From 22 december 2010 "pasztecik szczeciński" is listed on the official Polish traditional products list and hence protected by the European Union law, which means that all producers have to strictly follow traditional recipe. "Pasztecik Szczeciński" is currently served also outside Szczecin (for example in Gdańsk, Gryfice, Nowogard, Kalisz, Poznań, Warszawa, Kołobrzeg, Lublin, Łobez or German Wiesbaden).
