It's Fat Tuesday, and that means it's paczki time. Before you get to know one of the popular treats with your stomach, get to know it with your noggin. Call this food for thought about paczki:
First thing's first, how do you pronounce it?
A single fat-packed, Polish-style pastry is called a paczek, pronounced POON-check. If you've had more than one of the nummy waistline-busters, you've eaten paczki (POONCH-kee).
That's right, "paczki" is plural; "paczkis" is not a word. Now you know, and, as they say, knowing is half the battle.
Just what am I putting into my body?
Sweet, sweet tasty goodness. But more specifically, it's a delicious, sugar-dusted pastry packed full with custard, chocolate or fruit jelly - and is stuffed with more than 400 calories and 25 grams of fat, too.....
