In Detroit, many people, regardless of religious affiliation line up for paczki--the best (IMHO) are from the bakeries in Hamtramck, a small city that used to be predominantly Polish. These rich "calorie bombs" are similar to jelly donuts, but they pack about twice the fat & sugar. They use a lot of eggs and butter and are fried in lard. Yum!
