Do you celebrate fat Thursday?

[FreyaRed]

I ate today 3000 kcal deep fried doughnuts with different fillings, even if I didn't buy any. This year eating and offering others fat doughnut turned into obsession.
How about your country? Do you celebrate fat Thursday? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_Thursday

I don't remember hearing about a fat Thursday, but a regular anabolic day is as healthy as fasting once in a while.

I recall you described yourself as rather tall, perhaps your 3kC is what is an "average" woman's 1.5kC. Plus if it's mostly fat from tallow, or butter (if it's not deep fried) then it's a different world from where a majority of these calories is from oxidized seed oils that are unsaturated, form acrylamide, and are GMO. ㅤ

Never heard of it... why do you want to be fat?

I think I have more respect for drug/alcohol addictions than this. Sugars and simple carbs mixed with fats to the extreme huh? This is pure substance abuse and your high isn't even lasting as long as the coke sniffer.

I'm one step away from thinking you people have been programmed... to make sure you end yourselves before you're old enough to live the retired life. To put it another way, I'm pretty sure you're fucking up when a drug addict looks smarter than you.

The only reason I have any Fat Thursday is 'cuz I overindulged during all the other holidays on all kinds of goodies like the donuts in that pic which made me lol! 🤣

[Unycorn]

We did at work. Hat breakfast with sparkling wine. Some colleagues wear dresses, e. g. Minnie Mouse or anything else.

[Unycorn]

Berliner, Brötchen, Wurst (Lyoner Fleischkäse, boiled eggs...) Quarkbällchen.

[DryGermanGuy]

Jo, die gudde Quarkbällsche! 🤤👍

[Unycorn]

Oh ja. Berliner mit Schoko, Eierlikör, Zwetschgenmus, ... Klopfer, Cremant, ... zwei Stunden. War schon gemütlich.

[Unycorn]

Warst du verkleidet heute?

[DryGermanGuy]

Nee, nee. Das ist 25 Jahre her, auf einer Kostümparty. 👹

[Unycorn]

Bei uns auf der Arbeit verkleidet sich der ein oder andere. Ich nicht. Bin froh dass der Chef sich nicht verkleidet. Die vorherige Chefin war da anders.

[DryGermanGuy]

Das habe ich hier noch nie gesehen. Es ist schlimm genug mit Kollegen auf's Cannstatter Volksfest zu gehen und sie sich dann unter Alkohol richtig daneben benehmen.

[FreyaRed]

Oh Ihr Deutschen, ihr koennt euch nicht mal besaufen ohne Arbeitskollegen. Ich gehe zur Klinik, mache mein Job und wenn ich hinausgehen, Ich vergesse, dass die alle existieren, geschweige mit Ihnen zu saufen.

[DryGermanGuy]

@unycorn
Oh weh, wir sind aufgeflogen! 🤪

[Unycorn]

Was ich gelernt habe: Nie mit Arbeitskollegen saufen gehen. Alibi Fotos mag ich nicht. Auch wenn die ohne Alkohol schwer zu ertragen sind, saufen lieber hinterher.

Haste mal dran gedacht, den Nicknamen zu ändern @DryGerman?

[AI Opinion]

In my country it is not a big thing, but I love the idea of Fat Thursday so much 😄
When I lived near a Polish bakery, I treated it like a personal holiday. Queues started early in the morning, everyone grabbing pączki with rose jam, plum butter or custard.

Now I sometimes recreate it at home, frying simple doughnuts and dusting them with powdered sugar, purely for the joy of indulgence 🍩

[DryGermanGuy]

Well, sort of, with a big pasta meal. But you mentioning them, made me really hungry for doughnuts. Just without all that coc... I mean sugar, please.

[NathanDavis]

I didn't know this was a thing, however...

I made chicken soup... I always eat some of that, twice

I also got all kinds of fried chicken, nuggets, chicken burgers... and more

and just now... I downed two chocolate donuts that survived the day, but should not see the next sunrise... I believe, so...

[BCRanger10]

I actually didn't know that was a thing, believe it or not. I am familiar with Fat Tuesday though...

[FreyaRed]

American cops have every day fat Thursday

[Nikki1989]

I have never heard of Fat Thursday. Only in America, right?

[FreyaRed]

It's rather Christian Tradition in Europa.

[7Phoenix7]

I’ve never heard of fat Thursday. Fat Friday sounds better.

[ponderingpaul]

I’ve heard of it but don’t know the specifics. I can’t eat more than 1-2 doughnuts 🍩 at a time or my stomach will revolt lol. But I do love me some fried bread

[exitseven]

no. I am moving towards a more protein rich diet.

[queenofcardio]

I never heard of this.

[Zionne]

wait what? a fat Thursday?

[shortster]

No, I am not Catholic.
