This is so funny…I bought a dozen assorted – jam, custard, etc – paczki (we call them gut grenades!) to celebrate ‘Fat Tuesday’ while out running errands with my mom yesterday. I spread the wealth and left a few with mom, then on to my sis…
The four sinful custard-filled, so I thought, were actually ‘EMPTY’…somehow these hollow paczki got missed during the filling part of the production(?) line. LOL
I guess there’s a subliminal message there??? Who needs the extra calories anyway? Still, disappointing for a once-a-year-traditional splurge! Shall I return them for a refund???
Happy PACZKI Day!

I definitely would have been disappointed! We had paczki at a Polish dinner hosted at a Polish Catholic church down in Hamtramck Saturday night. We brought a few home for breakfast on Sunday, so I am refraining from having one on the traditional day for them. (unless Mike happens to bring some home with him) 🙂 Happy Paczki Day! (do you have Polish blood, Jenny? I am 100% Polish!)
OH GEESH, that sounds like something that would happen to me. Did the give away ones all have filling??? I think you deserve a “do-over”. Happy Shrove Tuesday!!!
All’s well that ends well! My mom (she’s 86) called ‘the bakery’ and they gave her 6 paczkis w/filling of her choice!! Way to go Ma!!! hee hee
Yes, indeed. My dad was Polish (and French mixed in there somewhere)!
Oh, too funny. My husband just loves these. My favorites used to be the prune filled ones, but I can’t eat donuts anymore…they don’t agree with my head and stomach. So, I just enjoy watching him eat them. Glad you got some more that were ‘filled’. (:
