Starbucks Paczki
Besides a highly over priced cup o' joe, when you visit a Starbucks in the Detroit Metro Area between now and Ash Wednesday you'll, for the first time, be able to buy paczki to go along with your kava.The popular Polish pre-Lenten pastry - is putting in an appearance for patrons at about 60 Detroit-area Starbucks outlets.
Detroit area Starbucks stores will sell the deep-fried jelly-filled doughnuts, which pack lots of calories and are customary on the eve of Lent, the 40-day period (not including Sundays in the count of 40) of self-denial that many Christians observe before Easter.
Starbucks Corp.'s Great Lakes regional director, Scott Hasselbach, told the Detroit Free Press that selling paczkis is a way for the international chain to be "locally relevant."
Starbucks is offering them with apple cinnamon, raspberry and Bavarian cream fillings for 95 cents. Starbucks said it will take orders for boxes of six for pickup on Fat Tuesday, Feb. 20, the day before Lent.
With laws going into effect banning transfat all over America - how long until our liberal Democrat politicians outlaw Paczki as being unsafe and harmful to humans?
You think I'm kidding, right?

Denny,
I was under the impression that transfats were manufactured and therefore shouldn't apply to traditionally made paczki as they should be fried in lard.
Unless you're talking about the "We know what's good and what's bad for you" food police...
They would probably not take kindly to anything fried in lard; tradition be damned. . .
