Did you know that..?

Today, the 8th of February, Poland celebrates Fat Thursday which is called Tłusty Czwartek.

People purchase traditional pączki (doughnuts), which are large deep-fried pieces of especially rich dough, traditionally filled with rose petal jam and topped with powdered sugar or glaze.

In Belgium instead of Fat Thursday in a few days will be celebrated the Fat Tuesday - Mardi Gras.

It refers to events of the Carnival celebration and the most popular the carnival of Binche. During this time, the city is going through a fancy dress parade - the most important is Gille with a specific dance and costume.

Oranges fly over the cheering crowd (thrown for good luck)!
