Poggis

Poggis is a term used in some regions to refer to a type of small, fried dough pastry. These pastries are often sweet, though savory variations can also be found. The dough is typically made from flour, water, and sometimes eggs or yeast, which is then shaped into small balls or flattened pieces and deep-fried until golden brown and puffed.

The exact origin of Poggis is difficult to pinpoint, as similar fried dough preparations exist in many culinary traditions worldwide. They are commonly found at local markets, festivals, and bakeries, often served as a simple snack or dessert. Poggis can be enjoyed plain or coated with sugar, cinnamon, or a drizzle of honey or syrup.

In some areas, the term might also be used colloquially to describe something small and round, or as a nickname. However, the primary understanding of "Poggis" relates to the fried pastry. The simplicity of their preparation and the satisfying texture have contributed to their enduring popularity as a comfort food in the communities where they are traditionally made and consumed.
