slo’s FAT TUESDAY 2/13 poll - Paczkis

[slo]

Woohoo…..today is Fat Tuesday, which means today is Paczki Day.

Will you being being eat Paczki today?
If yes, what flavor(s) will you have?
(multiple choice)


For Me…..I will not be participating with Fat Tuesday. I just can’t bring myself to do it. I do love them, but today is one of my gym days and I can’t blow my workout on eating Paczki (I really do need to live a little and have one - LOL!)

Looks good, but I am behaving myself. I am trying to keep the weight momentum heading the right way.

I'm not a fan but my DH likes them.

 

[BrianL]

I love them, but it's hard to get good ones around here. It's just not a big thing, though I have been seeing them more and more in teh grocery stores. It is kind of hit and miss if they will be good though. sometimes it's just a donut and sometimes it is inedible. I HAVE had some that were decent, but it is inconsistent from year to year. I did have some back around New Years because, you know, why not?

 

[PollyannaMom]

I expect I'd like them, but I'm watching my sugar right now, so I'll skip them for today.

I would love to have one they’re delicious but the ones around here are not delicious so I will not be partaking but if I could get a good one I would eat one would pick a cream maybe a raspberry I probably get both that’s my problem if I found good ones I’d probably get two or three of them and then I feel really bad about eating so many of them but then I think it’s fat Tuesday who cares? And then I would when I stepped on the scale

 

[Skywalker3]

I've never heard of them . I would eat one if I could though. I recognize them by looking at them, but I didn't know they were called that.

I do wish I had a good King Cake today!

 

[AppleDumpling]

I voted other, because I’ve never had one and never heard of them until reading about them here. They look good. Do they taste different than regular jelly donuts?

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

I don’t usually like jelly donuts which are the type most commonly available near me, so I’ve never tried one.

 

[bobbiwoz]

Not today, but I would enjoy one with good berry filling!

 

[NYCgrrl]

If I were eating one it would be a tie between some sort of red jam (surprise me!) and a vanilla pastry cream. Which ever version I touched first would be the ONE. for the minute.

I already enjoyed eating a lot of other sweets so deferring to the private conversation my thighs are having with me which if I keep it up would be pretty public

 

[Meriweather]

never heard that name, but I won't be eating any kind of doughnut

 

[ronandannette]

Is today Shrove Tuesday? Thanks for the reminder! No to the pastries - they’re really not a thing here, although they do look delicious. Sounds like pancakes for supper though.

 

[Moliphino]

We don't have any today, and it's snowing so we won't be going out to get any. I have had a few during paczki season, though (Bavarian cream, prune, lemon). The Bavarian cream was my favorite.

 

[firefly_ris]

I love them but I'm knee deep in calorie counting so won't be partaking today.

 

[fla4fun]

Yep, I just got back from the grocery store and have a raspberry and a custard waiting to be consumed today. I love Paczki, but am not a fan of King Cake.

 

[tvguy]

Never heard them called Paczki, just a jelly filled donut here. No, not eating one today, but I am going to a Luna New Year lunch today.

 

[antmaril]

My plan is to have a cannoli cream filled paczki. I am struggling with this decision, however, because I am on WW and one paczki is about a million WW points. Ha!

UPDATE - I had my cannoli cream paczki. It was absolutely delicious. I promise you - a paczki is not just a donut. By the way, it was worth every calorie!

 

[TippyThomas]

I've never had one so I have to ask. Looking at the picture, it looks very similar to a jelly donut that I did have many times in my youth. Are they the same or similar?

 

[Wood Nymph]

We live about 15 minutes away from Weber Bakery in Chicago, one of the most popular places to get a fresh paczki, but we won't be buying them. They have also been for sale at our grocery store for several weeks. It is just a jelly filled donut and I don't see what the big deal is.

I like the fruit filled ones, though, if I do have an opportunity to have one.
