Hi Drew,
Thank you for posting.
There is Tłusty czwartek in Poland.
Wtorek przed środą popielcową to ostatki.
Should you have any questions, please let us know.
Sincerely,

Tłusty czwartek? Myślałem, że wakacje to Tłusty WTOREK. Przed środą popielcową.
Cześć Anirudh,
Tak, polskie słodycze są słodkie. Niektóre słodycze są bardzo słodkie, na przykład ptysie (cream puff) albo kutia (dish consisting of boiled grain, and honey). Polacy lubią słodycze.
Czy lubisz słodycze, Anirudh?
Pozdrawiam,
Hanna
