A little insite on FAT TUESDAY.

All i know is its alot of extra time on the tred mill!!
The Screamin Scott PACZKI Story started in Warren MI , my childhood home
was off of Masonic on a street called Newcastle.My neighbors were the
Bartolds.John was my best friend . Had to be about 6 or 7 years old when
I noticed on the Bartolds Family Station wagon a bumper sticker "PACZKI"
I asked John and Mrs Bartold about them and they explaned the whole story......... and then in Feb they had them in boxes and boxes.It was 1970 when i had my first "PACZKI" So to my childhood friend and Family "The Bartolds" I say Thank You.This time of year ,it always reminds me of all of you.....and the fun times living in
Warren,MI.


Shrove Tuesday is the term used in the English-speaking countries of the United Kingdo,Ireland, and Australia to refer to the day after Collop Monday and before Ash Wednesday (the liturgical season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday). In these countries, and amongst Anglicans in Canada, this day is also known as Pancake Day, because it is customary to eat pancakes on this day. In other parts of the world -- for example, in historically-Catholic and French-speaking parts of the United States and elsewhere -- this day is called Mardi Gras, and in areas with large Polish-immigrant populations (for example, Chicago and Detroit) it is known as Paczki Day.

Polish immigrants have popularized this type of preserve-filled doughnut in some parts of the United States, especially in Hamtramck- an enclave of Detroit. Hamtramck is known to be the only U.S. city to organize an annual Paczki-Day (Fat Tuesday) Parade, and lines can be seen up to 24 hours before the deep-fried delights go on sale at the numerous local bakeries. Many bars in town open early in the morning, and provide free entertainment, a party atmosphere, and even Paczki-clad mascots. The Paczki-Day celebration in this town is even larger than many areas have for St. Patrick's Day. Here, prunes are considered the traditional filling, but many others are used as well, including lemon, strawberry, Bavarian cream, custard, raspberry, and rarely apple. Due to French influence, paczki are eaten on Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) rather than on Fat Thursday. In the large Polish community of Chicago, and other large cities across the Midwest, paczki day is also celebrated annually by immigrants and locals alike.

Enjoy!
