Fauschnaut. Fasnact. Faschnacht. Fosnot. Fosnaught. Fauschnaut = fatty donut. Made with potato flour. No hole in the middle. Traditionally fried in lard. Sprinkled with sugar. Sounds enjoyable and totally healthy. Up until a couple of weeks ago I'd never heard of a fauschnaut, and as I write this I still haven't seen one...yet. That might just change as we celebrate our first Fauschnaut Day since moving to Central PA. It's the way the locals celebrate the Mardi Gras/Fat Tuesday tradition. Generally, I don't have much knowledge or experience with either. So anyway...happy whatever it is you celebrate day! My goal is to find, photograph, and devour a fauschnaut :-)
