Paczek z roza is the Polish doughnut filled with rose-petal jam, fried in lard, and finished with a citrus icing or sugar. Tlusty Czwartek (Fat Thursday) draws queues around the block for it.
The Polish doughnut tradition stabilised in the 19th century, but A. Blikle on Nowy Swiat made the rose-petal-jam version the canonical Warsaw paczek from 1869. In February 2013, Gazeta Wyborcza named the Blikle rose paczek the 'king' of the Polish doughnut market. The day before Lent (Tlusty Czwartek, Fat Thursday) is the city's biggest pastry day: queues form at Blikle and Lukullus from 06:00, and the average Pole eats 2.5 paczki that day. Outside Lent, the same paczek is in every bakery in the city every morning.
