In my part of the states, Detroit, Michigan, we have a lot of people of Polish descent, and paczki are available only once per year, on the day before lent (generally referred to as “paczki day” around here) and any place that makes one that you’d want to eat usually requires a pre-order. They differ from more traditional donuts in that they’re denser (I think that comes from lard instead of butter), and they’re always filled. No exceptions. Lemon, raspberry and custard are the most common fillings, but you see others here and there. Anyway, just curious if this is anything like the situation in Poland or if this is just a veneration of a thing that’s more everyday in the mother country. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. Rest that foot up. I’ve broken a number of bones in my life but never the foot. It’s supposed to be one of the worst.
