Anybody getting paczkis for Paczki Day this week?

[Dan Murphy]

I think we are getting a dozen from our local Spunky Dunkers. It's good it only comes once a year.

Definitely. Some of our local bakeries are offering paczki filled with cannoli cream. Yes, please!

[robinb]

Oooo! Thanks for reminding me. I think one of our local bakeries sells these.

The only place around here I can get them is Meijers. Not sure how authentic they are, but they taste wonderful!

Someone in our office just brought a couple dozen in today - I'm avoiding them as much as possible (dieting).

....why? They are an integral part of the 'paczkis diet'.....

Well I am drooling.

I'm from Michigan. Like there's a choice.

I'm sure there will be paczki in many places for me to take advantage of (DH will probably bring some home), but I usually don't take initiative to go to any one of the well known sites and buy them myself.

I recently saw an image of a paczki version with cannoli filling. That would be awesome.

I'd never heard of them until I moved to Chicago, and they look good, but truthfully I'm not a fan of anything with (any) filling.

Edited: cream to any.

I wish I could get them around here! I've always wanted to try them.

Most of the ones I see around us are fruit filled, not cream. More like a jelly donut.

Considering I live in Pulaski, WI which is the ultimate Polish town (named after Polish war hero, Casimir Pulaski) and we have a local bakery that is featured on the news every year on Paczki day...of course! They have every filling imaginable. People come from all over the area for them from our bakery, which is actually kind of funny because they sell them EVERY day. We love our paczkis!

Yep, I never heard of creme filled ones until I was an adult. I grew up in a Polish neighborhood in Philly and they were available year round, not just for Fat Tuesday, Mostly plain (not filled) for year round. Several bakeries in the neighborhood sold them and my grandmother made them occasionally.

Supermarkets usually have them where I am now. Either raspberry, lemon, apple, or Bavarian creme.

By the way, Punchkey Day in Poland was yesterday, according to this article.

We already ate ours. It was like Fat Tuesday, fat Wednesday, fat Thursday....

 

[Disneylover99]

I've never heard of a paczki, but they look much more yummy than the pancakes I'll be making next Tuesday.

 

[mercydisney]

I saw these yesterday in Publix. I had no idea what they were. I thought they were overpriced doughnuts because they did not show all that scrumptious filling. So now I will run to Publix to tr these. I just hope they have rasburry filling. I can always start my diet on Monday

ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let's meet at Gumbo's, pretty sure he's got a vehicle that can get us to Chicago fast. We'll stop at the bakery, buy up the entire stash and take Dan to lunch!
