QOTD 2/20

MMRoberts11

Tomorrow will you be eating a paczki tomorrow?  Do you usually eat one?

midgetthemighty

I don't even know what that is...

Same here...

I....can't say that I will, because I've never heard of them before, but I just looked them up on Wikipedia and now I want one.

For anyone else who's never heard of them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C4%85czki

agree. But I don't know where to get one from.....

chelseakopperud

I have never heard of that.

sleblanc72

Thanks DrPB!  That does sound yummy but I also love donuts and that seems similar.

diamondx423

Well, as the token Polish girl....

No, I won't be having one. Where we live no there isn't good Polish food so I don't bother even trying it. I'm spoiled from growing up in Jersey where you can find amazing traditional foods. Maybe I'll get a jelly donut and pretend?

midgetthemighty

Probably wouldn't ever eat one. The only doughnuts I like are the cinnamon swirly kind without filling.

sweet_melissa81

MMRobers, this may only be a Michigan thing. I plan on eating one even though I shouldn't. Mmmm! Girls, they're like Jelly Doughnuts (sometimes custard) but even fatter, but oh so tasty!

L&J2012

It's a Polish food that you'll likely only find if there is a polish population in your town (for example, buffalo, where I'm from, has a large polish population and I'd have no trouble finding one there. I am polish, though, and I've never had paczki). Maybe go to a donut shop and get a donut and pretend its paczki?

peachykeen26

I think FI will, but I am not a huge fan of them.King's Cake, however. Yes- I can do that! DEE LISH!

Zimsgirl

Didn't know what they are til today so no lol

Yeah looks like this isn't a national thing like I assumed it was. Pretty sure everyone in MI knows what one is. FI and I were just talking about them..we haven't the last couple of years but I think we will tomorrow :) We did see them at Kroger though (Cincinnati area) so I think they do it in Ohio at least too.

HarperBargo

Local bakeries in Cincinnati make them too. You can also buy them at local grocery stores. I really like them but have not had one yet this year (trying to watch what I eat). However, here at work we always have a King's Cake....yummy!

kelsey+brandon

What is it for exactly?

L&J2012

They're a polish thing, and some cities don't have a large Polish population. We have tons of Polish bakeries in Buffalo that sell them. We always get placek for Easter.

Typical Fat Tuesday mindset..since you are supposed to fast on Ash Wednesday the idea is to shove as many calories in one delicious ball of fat as you can. Love 'em!

Hahahaha. I don't even want to know the calorie content of those.

I'm guessing so.  I know when I lived in AZ they had them too so maybe it just migrated there when a lot of people from MI moved there.  Sorry, I thought it was national.

I've never heard of that, but I will probably get one final king cake in before tomorrow. Photographic representation of the declicious-ness of a king cake:

I am pretty much Mardi Gras-ed out at this point, haha! We did parades Thursday night and all day yesterday. I have friends going today, but I'm tired! Haha!

No worries, it's always fun to learn new things!  Especially when it's about food.  YUM!

sweet_melissa81

Technically it is a Polish thing and it's also related to lent. Typically people are supposed to fast for Lent and this is kind of like your last treat before you fast for the next 40 days. I'm not Catholic, so I don't know all the rules.
