I haven't had one since I moved to California. No one here seems to know what they are. I asked in our local donut place and they offered me a jelly donut. Lol, no. Eat another one for me, would you?

I was in Texas last year on Mardi Gras and they don't have them there either.
A what? It sounds like I need this thing in my life.
Paczki (pronounced: poonch-key) is a traditional Polish treat made before Lent. It's very popular in Michigan and Chicago, not sure about other places.
It's kind of like a jelly donut but it's absolutely not a donut

We haven't had them since we moved up here so DH went out and got a few this morning and we cut them up and had a taster. Raspberry, lemon, cream and custard. Both of us immediately felt like we were going to die lol.
I stood in line for 45 minutes in the rain this morning to get the real deal at the bakery. Grocery store paczki's are not the same!
My kids both have birthdays next week so we sent paczki's in today for an early birthday treat. I bought 5 dozen and then I forgot to pull one out of the box for me. I totally missed out this year!
Central PA (Pennsylvania Dutch land) has fastnachts, which I think is the same concept? I only lived there a few years (I'm from Pittsburgh and not familiar with either one) - our company would bring in Krispy Kreme glazed donuts for everyone on Fat Tuesday. The locals got pissy that they couldn't spring for real fastnachts. lol

OMG glazed donuts are not even close.
We used to get ours delivered straight to the office while they were still warm.

My h usually goes to Hamtramck for them, but chose to go to the Polish American Cultural center this year so he wouldn't have to wait at 4am.
This is the first time in my life I've been disappointed by a packzi. They either weren't fresh or didn't have enough fat in them. It was like eating a roll with jelly in it. I feel cheated... SaveSave
I had a sad store bought one this year I miss working with people that have access to the real ones.
H's family is Polish and we make a lot of Polish foods, so I asked if he had ever had these. He has not, but said he saw them at King Soopers last week. I was like, "I've never had one of these things or even heard of them until today, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that my first paczki should probably not be from King Soopers."

I got a raspberry filled one from Avalon Bakery this morning after my annual doc's check up. It was the best I've ever had. The filling was real tasting and delicious! (Just got my lab results 5 mins ago and I might have high cholesterol!? uh oh~!)
