I have never heard of a Paczki before moving to Detroit, well maybe I have but I would have never heard the sound \u201cpoonchki\u201d and associated it with the spelling Paczki.\u00a0 Once you get the \u201cpoonchki\u201d pronunciation down, then you have to wonder what a Paczki is?\u00a0 After having my first one and a half Paczkis yesterday I can tell you a Paczki is just a filled donut but a worse, more bread to filling, version of a filled donut.\u00a0 I\u2019m giving it to you straight, some people will tell you it is a Polish delicacy that can only be found in Hamtramck, and build up expectations that your first Paczki will be a life changing experience.<\/p>\n
My Fat Tuesday Paczki experience started walking to my car with my neighbors asking if I was going to get a Paczki.\u00a0 When I said maybe, they said I would need to go to Hamtramck and be prepared to wait on lines that circle the building.<\/p>\n
Then I got to work, and told my coworker I have never had one and got the response \u201cwe need to go get one\u201d.\u00a0 It\u2019s 15 minute into work and we\u2019ve already roped past Fellows Rory, Courtney, and Alyssa into our quest for Paczkis.\u00a0 We headed just down the road to Donut Villa, and walked into find all the donuts replaced with Paczki with all different fillings.\u00a0 I don\u2019t eat berries so I opted for one custard and one apple.<\/p>\n
I ate the custard one while driving back, that was good it tasted like a Boston cr\u00e8me donut but without the chocolate on top.\u00a0 I give that a 7.5\/10, the apple one I had half of, it was lots of bread and little filling, I\u2019d say a 5\/10. Overall they were pretty average I definitely would not go out of my way to get them.<\/p>\n
I then snapchatted my Paczki rating as a 6.5\/10 to other fellows and got some responses.\u00a0 Paulina said she expected it to be 9\/10, then she had her first Paczki and said \u201cI don\u2019t like em tbh\u201d.\u00a0 Kyla gave hers a 5\/10, Mikayla said 8\/10 and Nadir gave his 11\/10 (Chene Modern Bakery).<\/p>\n
Overall I would day my first Paczki experience was underwhelming, and I would opt for a traditional donut.\u00a0 I\u2019ll have them once a year on Fat Tuesday, but I think the calories could be spent on something better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
