As people gear up for the Lenten season, one local business is preparing for the day before it begins.
The paczkis are said to have originated in Poland as families would use up all their ingredients in the cupboards to make the densely filled donut-like pastry prior to the Catholic faith of fasting during Lent. A popular place in lima to get the paczkis is Pat's Donuts and Kreme. They started serving them 17 years ago and they couldn't give them away. Now Fat Tuesday has become the busiest day of the year for them and the owner says it's still a little nerve-racking.
Pat’s Donuts busiest day of the year is next week and they’re serving up a sweet tradition. Out of all the foods eaten on Fat Tuesday, Paczkis might be one of the sweetest. Eating this donut is a tradition that was shared with the United States by Polish immigrants. According to the owner of Pats donuts, the tradition holds a lot of meaning.
With Fat Tuesday this week, it's a good time to treat yourself to an annual sweet tradition. Eating a donut known as a paczki on the Thursday before Ash Wednesday is a Polish tradition that was changed to Fat Tuesday when it was brought over to the United States by Polish immigrants.
Fat Tuesday is tomorrow and the best way to celebrate is with a good paczki.
Many are still sluggish from over indulging in Fat Tuesday treats, but some Delphos community members were ready to run it off, along with their ashes.
A delectable Polish tradition will be sweeping the country on Tuesday. Pat's Donuts and Kreme has already started making Poland's famous paczkis for Fat Tuesday.
