Welcome to YUROP
The Ultimate Eurozone of Culture, Chaos, and Continental Excellence

A glorious gathering place to celebrate (and lovingly roast) the lands, peoples, quirks, and contradictions of Her Most Magnificent Europa. From the fjords to the Med, the steppes to the Atlantic spray, this is a shrine to everything that makes Europe gloriously weird, wonderfully diverse, and occasionally passive-aggressive in 24 languages.

Here we toast:
๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ The progressive Union of Peace (and paperwork)
๐Ÿง€ The freest of health care
๐Ÿท The finest of foods
๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ The liberalest of liberties
๐ŸŒ The proud non-members and honorary cousins ๐Ÿ’ถ And the eternal dance of unity, confusion, and cultural banter.

Post memes, news, satire, linguistic wars, train maps, cursed food photos, Eurovision fever, propaganda and whatever makes you scream โ€œonly in YUROP.โ€

Leave your stereotypes at the border control and enjoy the ride.

At least in Michigan Pฤ…czki are pretty distinct from donuts and they are only available early in the year (January to a few weeks after Ash Wednesday)

There are many different, specific kinds of doughnuts; some use yeast, some don't, some are filled, some aren't, they can be sprinkled, sugared, glazed, frosted, soaked in syrup, or just plain, but they're all still doughnuts. I went to Wikipedia to get more ammo for this comment and realized I didn't even need to read anything, the picture at the top of the List of Doughnut Varieties page is the same picture used on the Pฤ…czki page, lol. You choosing not to eat them the rest of the year has no bearing on their doughnut-ness.

But, how are they different from jelly filled donuts? Other than in name, and that named product being temporally limited in availability?

The dough is (should be) different, with yeast and and other stuff. Some stores just make filled donuts and sell them as Pฤ…czki but there are many others that make them properly. I guess it depends on how large the Polish population in the area is
