FAT THURSDAY BY Polish team(A.Wojcik)
My students have prepared the film how to make Polish Doughnut.
Ingredients For the dough
500g/1lb 2oz strong white flour
50g/2oz caster sugar
40g/1½oz unsalted butter
2 free-range eggs
2 x 7g sachets instant yeast
The Greek custom for “Tsiknopempti”.
Fat Thursday (Tsiknopempti) is the most special day of the second week of Triodion (the three-week period before Easter Fast), during which, according to customs, large quantities of meat are grilled at homes and taverns, filling the air with smell of “tsikna” (the smell of scorched meat). People wear costumes, have fun, eat and drink wine. This feast takes place on a Thursday (Pempti) because according to the Christian religion, Wednesdays and Fridays are fast days. After fat Thursday the great carnival follows.
