stuckincincy Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Today is Paczki Day or Pancake Tuesday , how many folks have them.Paczki Day 232471[/snapback] Last week, a local bakery here was advertising them. I didn't know the history behind them, till now. Edit: I oppose today's doughnuts - much too much sugar coatings and fillings. You cannot seem to find a plain (non-yeast) fry cake, and the peanut stick is non-existent since peanut allergies became the rage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
