Here in Germany, the traditional treat for the Mardi Gras time (which is actually celebrated for several days known as Fasching or Karnival) is a donut!
Of course they're not called donuts. They're called Krapfen. A normal krapfen is covered in powdered sugar, usually with a rosehip filling. But there are several variations of this delicious treat - covered with normal sugar, lemon icing, chocolate icing, sprinkles, and pretty much any filling from fruit to liquor to chocolate. These little babies popped up in the bakeries on January 7 (the Christmas season isn't officially over until January 6) and the best part is, they usually cost about 75 cents.
