Because Lent is a time of fasting, the next opportunity to feast would not be until &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter&quot; title=&quot;Easter&quot;&gt;Easter&lt;/a&gt;. It is similar to, but should not be confused with, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France&quot; title=&quot;France&quot;&gt;French&lt;/a&gt; festival of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mardi_gras&quot; title=&quot;Mardi gras&quot; class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot;&gt;Mardi gras&lt;/a&gt;  (&quot;Fat Tuesday&quot;). Traditionally it is a day dedicated to eating, when  people meet in their homes or caf&#195;&#169;s with their friends and relatives  and eat large quantities of sweets, cakes and other meals forbidden  during Lent. Among the most popular all-national dishes served on that  day are &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C4%85czki&quot; title=&quot;P&#196;&#133;czki&quot;&gt;p&#196;&#133;czki&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berliner_%28pastry%29&quot; title=&quot;Berliner (pastry)&quot;&gt;berliner&lt;/a&gt;, fist-sized donuts filled with rose &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmalade&quot; title=&quot;Marmalade&quot;&gt;marmalade&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faworki&quot; title=&quot;Faworki&quot;&gt;faworki&lt;/a&gt;, French dough fingers served with lots of powdered sugar.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;In &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy&quot; title=&quot;Italy&quot;&gt;Italy&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Gioved&#195;&#172; Grasso&lt;/i&gt; (Fat Thursday) is also celebrated, but it is not very different from &lt;i&gt;Marted&#195;&#172; Grasso&lt;/i&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrove_Tuesday&quot; title=&quot;Shrove Tuesday&quot;&gt;Shrove Tuesday&lt;/a&gt;). It is also similar to the Greek custom of &lt;i&gt;Tsiknopempti&lt;/i&gt; (loosely translatable as &quot;Barbecue Thursday&quot;), which involves the massive consumption of barbecued meat. In &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spain&quot; title=&quot;Spain&quot;&gt;Spain&lt;/a&gt; this celebration is called &lt;i&gt;jueves lardero&lt;/i&gt;, and in &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_language&quot; title=&quot;Catalan language&quot;&gt;Catalan&lt;/a&gt;-speaking areas, &lt;i&gt;dijous gras&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;width: 252px; height: 168px;&quot; src=&quot;http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/93/Ponczki.jpg/250px-Ponczki.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;  &lt;img style=&quot;width: 256px; height: 165px;&quot; src=&quot;http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/Faworki_%28plate%29.jpg/800px-Faworki_%28plate%29.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;P&#196;&#133;czki                                                         Faworki&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;p&#196;&#133;czek&lt;/span&gt; is a &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frying&quot; title=&quot;Frying&quot;&gt;deep-fried&lt;/a&gt; piece of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dough&quot; title=&quot;Dough&quot;&gt;dough&lt;/a&gt; shaped into a flattened sphere and filled with &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confiture&quot; title=&quot;Confiture&quot; class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot;&gt;confiture&lt;/a&gt; or other sweet filling. P&#196;&#133;czki are usually covered with &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powdered_sugar&quot; title=&quot;Powdered sugar&quot;&gt;powdered sugar&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icing_%28food%29&quot; title=&quot;Icing (food)&quot;&gt;icing&lt;/a&gt; or bits of dried &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_%28fruit%29&quot; title=&quot;Orange (fruit)&quot;&gt;orange&lt;/a&gt; zest.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Although they look like &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berliner_%28pastry%29&quot; title=&quot;Berliner (pastry)&quot;&gt;bismarcks&lt;/a&gt;  or jelly doughnuts, p&#196;&#133;czki are made from especially rich dough  containing eggs, fats, sugar and sometimes milk. They feature a variety  of fruit and creme fillings and can be glazed, or covered with  granulated or powdered sugar. &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plum&quot; title=&quot;Plum&quot;&gt;Prunes&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose&quot; title=&quot;Rose&quot;&gt;rose&lt;/a&gt;-petal &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jam&quot; title=&quot;Jam&quot; class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot;&gt;jam&lt;/a&gt;&lt;sup class=&quot;noprint Template-Fact&quot;&gt;&lt;span title=&quot;This claim needs references to reliable sources since June 2008&quot; style=&quot;white-space: nowrap;&quot;&gt;[&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed&quot; title=&quot;Wikipedia:Citation needed&quot;&gt;citation needed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; are traditional fillings, but many others are used as well, including &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon&quot; title=&quot;Lemon&quot;&gt;lemon&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawberry&quot; title=&quot;Strawberry&quot; class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot;&gt;strawberry&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bavarian_cream&quot; title=&quot;Bavarian cream&quot;&gt;Bavarian cream&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blueberry&quot; title=&quot;Blueberry&quot;&gt;blueberry&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custard&quot; title=&quot;Custard&quot;&gt;custard&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raspberry&quot; title=&quot;Raspberry&quot;&gt;raspberry&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple&quot; title=&quot;Apple&quot;&gt;apple&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;P&#196;&#133;czki have been known in Poland at least since the Middle Ages. &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C4%99drzej_Kitowicz&quot; title=&quot;J&#196;&#153;drzej Kitowicz&quot;&gt;J&#196;&#153;drzej Kitowicz&lt;/a&gt; has described that during the reign of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_III&quot; title=&quot;August III&quot; class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot;&gt;August III&lt;/a&gt;,  under the influence of French cooks who came to Poland, p&#196;&#133;czki dough  was improved, so that p&#196;&#133;czki became lighter, spongier, and more  resilient.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Faworki&lt;/b&gt; (also known as &lt;b&gt;chrust, chrusty, chru&#197;&#155;ciki, angel wings&lt;/b&gt;)&#194;&#185;  are traditional Polish sweet crispy fried pastry in the shape of thin  twisted ribbons, deep-fried and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Most  often they are eaten in time of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnival&quot; title=&quot;Carnival&quot;&gt;carnival&lt;/a&gt; and on &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_Thursday&quot; title=&quot;Fat Thursday&quot;&gt;Fat Thursday&lt;/a&gt; the last Thursday before Lent - not to be confused with Fat Tuesday or (Mardi Gras) the day before Ash Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Etymology of the word: traditionally &quot;faworki&quot; was the name reserved  for colourful ribbons attached to either female or male clothes,  especially ribbons given by medieval knights to their ladies. The word  came to Poland from Latin via French, and the French &quot;faveur&quot; means  &quot;grace&quot; or &quot;favour&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&#194;&#185; - &lt;i&gt;Faworki (chrusty) is the plural form of the word faworek (chrust).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;SMACZNEGO! :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;(from Wikipedia)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></content>
