There is only 1 day in a year when you must eat doughnuts, and it will save you from bad luck! Fat Thursday or Tłusty Czwartek!

Traditional Polish filled doughnuts are called Pączki, pronounced PONCH-key. They are commonly filled with berry jam, chocolate, or custard and topped with icing, powdered sugar, or almonds. The second most popular delicious treat on Fat Thursday is called Faworki, pronounced fa-VOR-key, also known as Angel Wings. Faworki are light, crisp pastries that are shaped like twisted ribbons and lightly fried, sprinkled with powdered sugar on top.

I want to do Fat Thursday right, so I am going to check the doughnut offers and prices at local bakeries and supermarkets.
On Fat Thursday, people in Poland consume about 100 million pączki each year, averaging roughly two and a half per person. There's a saying that if you don't eat a pączek on this day, mice will ruin your barn and fields. So, go ahead and enjoy guilt-free doughnuts!
