Fastnacht Day

 

Fastnachts.... you see that puddle between the donuts?  That's lard.  Liquified. Having seeped out of the donut itself.  

Imagine the Dunkin' Donuts guy.  He's sitting around saying, "Hey, I got these people addicted to coffee.  How can I get a few more bucks out of them?  Oh!  I know!  I'll deep fry balls of sugary dough, then coat them in icing and sprinkles.  Maybe even powdered sugar.  Perfect!"

Now imagine a Pennsylvania Dutch guy taking those donuts and soaking them in lard.

That's a fastnacht.  Happy Fat Tuesday.

I just looked in that box. That's not lard it's glaze you weirdo. Quit slandering my PA Dutch food items.
