Exhibition
Poltava Halushky — From Kotlyarevsky to the Present Day
Poltava Museum of Folk Gastronomy
The past exhibition traced the evolution of Poltava halushky — the region's symbolic dish, known since the late 18th century. Ivan Kotlyarevsky in 'The Aeneid' (1798) first elevated halushky to the literary canon as a sign of Ukrainian national life. Mykola Hohol in 'Evenings on a Farm Near Dykanka' continued the tradition. The exposition presented over thirty regional variants — savoury with various flour grinds, sweet with cherries, meat with bacon, fish with crucians, vegan with mushrooms. Visitors could taste recipes from the 1820s from a Poltava gentry family book. A separate section covers shaping technique on wooden boards, the makitra for rolling dough, village housewives' forms.
