Zozulia (Ukrainian: зозуля, lit. 'cuckoo bird') is a traditional Ukrainian millet dish. In 2024, the tradition of preparing and eating Zozulia porridge in Vinnytsia Oblast was added to the National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Ukraine.[1] Zozulia porridge is traditionally prepared in the village of Dashkivtsi in Vinnytsia Oblast.[2] The hot porridge gets its name from its appearance: it is made from millet and poppy seeds, and is speckled like a cuckoo bird (zozulia).
