In 2020, Fat Thursday fell on February 20. On this day in Poland, around 2.5 thousand tons of flour were used for doughnut-making, as well as 25 million eggs and 1.3 million liters of milk. Combined with 500 tons of sugar and butter each, this added up to a total of 100 million doughnuts consumed by Polish sugar lovers, or 2.5 donuts per capita, according to the source.
Fat Thursday is a Christian feast marking the last Thursday before Lent. In Poland, it is tradition to eat pÄ…czki - filled doughnuts - on Fat Thursday.
