LVIV
Pampukh Holiday
7-9
January
Forgo the New Year diet –
this Ukrainian city is holding
a festival dedicated to
doughnuts. Every year the
inner courtyard of Lviv’s
Pototski Palace is given over
to this event, celebrating the
doughnut (
pampukh
)
in all its
glory. A traditional festive treat
in Ukraine, we recommend you
sample those filled with apricot
jam, or smothered in chocolate,
or baked with onion and garlic.
Last year the festival secured
its place in the Guinness
World Records with a mosaic
made from a staggering,
7,040
doughnuts!
