Fat Tuesday, the day before the start of Lent, it is tradition to use up the items in your kitchen that wouldn’t be used during the semi-fasting period to follow. Here in southern PA, home to the PA Dutch and Amish, the day is known as “Faschnaut Day”. A faschnaut is a wonderfully sinful deep fried donut originally made for the purpose of using up some of that kitchen stock. A great place to find this treat-Brown’s Orchard & Farm Market.
