OT: doughnuts

[Bigboote]

This is largely for Triad, but I thought there are several Philly Boneyarders who might get a kick out of the story. This is about a bakery that makes a special doughnut once a year right before Lent:

These sound like Belgian smoutebollen. I had them as a teenager...amazing.

Sounds like I need to drive to Philadelphia on Feb 15, 2021

Massachusetts and Connecticut, and maybe more. Started around Springfield. Huge delicious fat pills. They do it for about 4 weeks before Ash Wednesday. My wife bought 30 last Sunday, froze most, but the grandsons are coming today. Those kids can eat!

Well I have to do some research..... gotta be some bakery here in NC that sells packzis and fastnachts..... a 1,000 mile road trip for doughnuts might not be possible

I really love that you said it might not be possible to drive a 1000 miles for goodies!

Well I once gave serious consideration to making a 600 mile round trip for a hamburger...so anything is possible .

I know that feeling. I once took a job 750 miles from home because I really liked a pizza joint there. If you have to work, may as well do it where the food is good!

In the news this week is the Roly Poly Bakery in New Britain, which is essentially the Polish capital of CT. They made 14000 for Tuesday.

I just asked Mr Google where in North Carolina one can get these paczkis. Two came up with possibilities, Halgo European Deli & Groceries in Durham and Polonez Polish-European Grocery in Raleigh. I say these two because the Paczkis are a traditional Polish thing.

If they do have/make/carry them, you will have to wait for next year, unless they still have some. Good luck.

Apparently there are a few bakeries that have pazki through Holy Saturday, which hardly seems in keeping with the spirit of the season. Though I suppose that if you lived near one of them, you might earn points by giving them up for Lent.

This is all a mute point. My wife wouldn't let me eat that any anyway!
