I'm talking about some good homemade-Thursday-before-Lent-doughnuts confected by a wonderful Polish cook (...most likely a nice Polish woman who makes them for her family)! [...though to be politically correct it could also be a nice Polish man... ] |

Yes, I'm aware of that belief, but I still think if you ask anyone about food memories from their childhood, they are most likely to say, "My mother made the best homemade .......(fill in the blank)!" I think it's part of the nurturing roles that food and our mothers play in our lives. |

I can`t cook during the week, but on Sundays I make my specialties and kids can`t wait, they follow me and ask when I will cook this or that. |

That looks like what my Polish aunts used to make...yummy! Is faworki the same thing with a different name, or is it different is some other way? My father's family came from the Warsaw area not Krakow, but my aunts did refer to these as "chrusties" which was probably a word they concocted from both the Polish and English... |

Did your aunts pronounce it as crusties ? Because "ch" is pronounced "h" in Polish. |

On the coming Fat Thursday, an average Pole/Poless will eat 2.5 donuts, which in the entire country will amount to an impressive 100 million donuts and... 34 billion kilocalories.
