		Because one type of Polish sweet is never enough, especially at Easter, our main mission at the Market was to get to the Polish bakery and buy some paczki, which are wonderful things that could be called donuts, though I feel that the word "donut" doesn't come close to revealing their charm.
		So it was a paczki mission, and when we realized how late in the afternoon it was we worried that there would be no paczki left.
		In the end I wasn't denied any paczki, but you never know the day or the hour when you might really want some paczki and because you left it to the last minute, you don't get any.

		Renee Fisher grew up in the steel-mill town of Weirton, West Virginia (near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania), and she remembers that, in childhood, late-winter days were permeated with the aroma of paczki (pronounced "punch key" or "poonch key").
		Following the feast, two large trays of paczki were served---one tray for the men and a separate tray for ladies.
		The result is old-fashioned, basic paczki, with flavor and aroma that are subtle, mellow and unforgettable.

		For people not familiar with the doughnut, the Paczki (pronounced pooch-kay or punch-key depending on who you talk to) is similar to a Bismarck but bigger with a little more oomph in the fat and calorie department.
		While the exact calories for a Paczki differs as much as the fillings it can have, Brauninger said each one is probably at least 700 calories.
		If the Paczki is 700 calories, it would take roughly 140 minutes or 2 hours and 20 minutes to burn off the calories of one Paczki on a tread mill.
