Where my husband and I grew up in Michigan,  every year we celebrated Paczki 
Day (pronounced Poon-shkee Day). Here in PA, it is called Fastknacht 
Day--either way, it's an utterly delicious fat doughnut with various yummy 
fillings served on Fat Tuesday, just in one region it is called by the 
Polish name (my DH is originally from the Polish part of Detroit) and in the 
other by the German name.
I just call them good, if horrendously fattening.
