    Lublin cuisine was shaped in times when merchants from the furthest corners of the world came to Lublin’s famous fairs in the 15th and 16th centuries. It is dominated by dishes from the menus of the old inhabitants of the region, where simple dishes of poor peasants were intertwined with sophisticated landowners’ dishes.
