I believe Pączki is plural in Polish. Not sure what the singular is. I'm also not sure how many Poles go with Fat Tuesday vs. Fat Thursday but I get the impression that Thursday is the big day over there whereas Tuesday is the big day here.
It's funny how they are shocked at the notion of baked pączki and one woman sounds like she is just amazed at the technological progress embodied in a pączek that is filled after frying.
It makes me happy that you buck the Midwestern tradition of calling them paczkis. In Detroit, we get paczki on Fat Tuesday instead of Fat Thursday.

ReplyDeleteYeah, the plural thing is what I'm talking about. I have no idea how the singular is spelled, but I think it's pronounced like poon-schek.
