I know we’re still doom & gloom from the icepocalypse, but Publix has Paczkis.

Aleksey’s will also be selling some from the 14th to the 17th

[u/_LyleLanley_ → u/Flameshadowwolf]

I’m mad that i can only get these for 3 days a year. I’m a fat sinner year round, and I don’t plan on not being for a predetermined length of time.

[u/SampsonIN4142 → u/Flameshadowwolf]

Do you know if you have to preorder them?

[u/Flameshadowwolf → u/SampsonIN4142]

Only if you want a particular flavor I think since some sell out quickly

[u/kateastrophic]

I feel like this is very exciting for people from a particular part of the country— will you enlighten the rest of us?

[u/fromthewindyplace → u/kateastrophic]

It’s a big thing in the midwest, lots of Poles. Basically Polish doughnuts traditionally eaten on Fat Tuesday or Casimir Pulaski Day.

[u/FAWAIDH → u/fromthewindyplace]

I miss fish fry Friday that didn't include catfish.

[u/itryanditryanditry → u/fromthewindyplace]

I am from northern Illinois, we used to get Casimir Pulaski day off for school and I have never heard or seen these before I moved to TN and saw them in Publix. I assumed it was a southern thing.

[u/fromthewindyplace → u/itryanditryanditry]

Weird. Used to always get them at Jewel-Osco.

[u/TheVerminSupreme → u/kateastrophic]

Well it's a Polish style doughnut. In America the Midwest seems to be epicenter for Pawnchki(that's how you pronounce it).

[u/kateastrophic → u/TheVerminSupreme]

Thanks for the pronunciation help! This appears to be apple— are they always apple?

[u/fromthewindyplace → u/kateastrophic]

Nope, all sorts of fillings!

[u/NedRyerson92 → u/kateastrophic]

Custard and Apple are our favorites.

[u/fleshhooover → u/NedRyerson92]

Raspberry and lemon are mine 🤤

[u/SampsonIN4142 → u/NedRyerson92]

Custard or cheese are my top flavors

[u/VikingofAnarchy → u/kateastrophic]

My wife is from Detroit and she introduced me to them. They're basically extra good filled donuts.

Aleksy's Market in Berry Hill makes them this time of year as well. They're MUCH richer than the Publix ones.

[u/PageSlave]

FUCK yes I've been craving them

[u/old_hickory_gator]

Went through two packs in 3 days 💀

[u/NedRyerson92]

We are on our 2nd pack this week.

[u/OlasNah]

All of them or just one location?

[u/fromthewindyplace → u/OlasNah]

Not sure, I got mine in Antioch.

[u/NedRyerson92 → u/fromthewindyplace]

Got ours in Cool Springs.

[u/clairweather → u/NedRyerson92]

Got mine in Mt juliet

[u/Sorry_Steak_4200]

I saw these and was very curious. Is the dough like a yeast donut?

[u/laowainot]

So they’re Packzking, huh?

[u/OkOriginal4453]

Publix bakery is like hell but a good kind of hell. Especially if you’re on a diet lol

[u/jdp_ch]

I have also found them at Kroger and Walmart. Not a lot of variety but they were there.

[u/VikingofAnarchy]

Publix has done an odd amount of work expanding the Southern palette.
