Today is Fat Tuesday also known as Shrove Tuesday or Mardi Gras or Pancake Day. It is your last chance to eat fatty and rich foods before the lean days of Lent. I also treated myself to a doughnut in the afternoon. Although I am not much of a "faster", it might not be too bad trying to eat more properly and to abstain from greasy and excessively sweet snacks for a while.
Let's see what kind of sinfully sweet treats people around the world indulge in before beginning their Lenten fast:
Austria, Germany, Hungary - Krapfen/Berliner (doughnut)
Sweden - semla
Poland - pączki (Polish doughnuts)
United Kingdom - pancake
USA - king cake
