I have just realised that we have some confusion in the calendar of similar holidays.
Yesterday - in Polish calendar - we had Doughnut Thursday, during that people are eating great amounts of Doughnuts and sometimes even cook them at home.
Polish “Doughnut Thursday” resembles “Pancake Tuesday” or as it is called in Scotland “Shrove Tuesday”
But… 
in Poland “Pankake Tuesday/Shrove Tuesday” is called “Ostatki” (the Lasts) and it resembles Irish (or American) Hallowe’en. When children disguise themselves as a ghosts, deaths, pirates etc., and walk from door to door singing songs and getting sweets, cakes and money sometimes.
There is some confusion, don’t you think?
