In my family "fassnacht" (fat night) was celebrated the Tueday before Ash Wednesday. Traditionally in a German household all the fat used for frying was gathered together and doughnuts were fryed before you through out that fat until Easter. Today my family celebrates "FAT Tuesday" by buying doughnuts on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday and giving up doughnuts until Easter.
