Fat (Shrove) Thursday in Poland

We love Shrove Thursday "Tłusty czwartek" . We eat tons of lovely doughnuts filled with jams ( the best one is made of rose petals). We call them "Pączki"

Doughnuts are the main topic of conversation - people ask " How many doughnuts have you eaten?

I read somewhere that each Pole eats 2,5 doughnuts and in total the Polish eat 100 million of doghnuts that day. An average doghnut has 200 kcal.
