In Polish communities in the United States the observance moved to Fasnacht Day — the Tuesday — which puts Polish and Pennsylvania Dutch traditions on the same morning.\n\nHamtramck, Michigan, a city surrounded by Detroit with deep Polish roots, is the best-known American centre of the day.",
  "today": "Lines start before dawn; bakeries fry all night ahead of it and sell until the dough runs out."
