Whhhooooops! Just added an inch to my waistline!
The_Kitchen_Guy said:No wonder everyone swears off all that stuff for Lent! After a day of overloading on Paçzkis, it would take 6 weeks to recover!
chefjeanine said:Four years later and I finally got my raspberry paçzki! Good stuff. Husband is flipping pancakes tonight for Shrove Tuesday. We had a Mardi Gras party on Saturday and made a King Cake. We've just been full of traditions of the season!

It's Paçzki Day!(Pronounced Poonch-key.)(ETA: This is from TWO THOUSAND SEVEN, folks, so enjoy the thread but remember that this year's discussion starts towards the end! )
Paçzki Day, also known as Fat Tuesday or Shrove Tuesday, is a Polish holiday that falls on the day before Ash Wednesday. It is a day to indulge in rich and decadent foods before the start of Lent, a time of fasting and abstinence in the Catholic tradition.
In Poland, Paçzki Day is celebrated by eating large quantities of paçzki (Polish pastries) filled with jam or custard, and topped with powdered sugar or glaze. It is also a day for socializing and gathering with friends and family.
Paçzki are deep-fried, yeast-raised pastries that are similar to doughnuts. However, they are made with a richer dough and are typically filled with fruit or custard. They are also larger and denser than traditional doughnuts.
The most traditional flavor of paçzki is rosehip jam, but they can also be filled with other fruit jams such as raspberry, apricot, or prune. In recent years, more modern flavors such as chocolate, peanut butter, and even savory fillings like cheese or meat have become popular.
You can celebrate Paçzki Day at home by making your own paçzki using a traditional recipe, or by purchasing them from a local bakery. You can also gather with friends and family for a paçzki party and try different flavors of paçzki together.
