Don’t miss Pączki Day!! It’s time for the annual event across the country to celebrate Mardi Gras but Polish style.
Pączki is pronounced “punch key” and is the plural of pączek which is pronounced “punch ek”.
Still wondering what it is? It’s a fantastic fried donut with fruit filling and drenched in sugar.
Pączki Day is actually 21 February, Tuesday. It and some last pre-lenten revelry take place the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. Traditionally, Lent has met with fasting and prayer. Fasting meant no meat nor dairy (eggs and milk) for the forty day preparation and has gone through many changes for Western Christianity.
Where to get them?
The Polish Home of course.
When to get them?
Get some between noon and 3PM. I’d come early as these delectable donuts will undoubtedly go fast.
