The funny thing is that if you showed the text above to anyone who actually lives in Poland they would be quite surprised by how many inaccuracies it contains. First of all, the correct spelling is "''pączki''", not "paczki". It's true that "''paczki ''" means "packages", but it's a completely different (and unrelated) word than "''pączki''" (notice the little hook under the "a"?), which is the correct term for Polish doughnuts. Secondly, the correct pronunciation is more like ''{{small|PAUNCH}}-key'' than ''{{small|POONCH}}-key''. Thirdly, prunes and apricots seem pretty weird as ''pączki '' fillings; everybody knows that rose-hip jam is the most traditional and most aromatic one. And finally, the chief ''pączki''-eating day is not Fat Tuesday, but Fat Thursday, six days earlier.
