Gluttonous Thursday
In
essence, before the oncoming Lent, on this day it was allowed to eat food with
rich in fat and foods related to the carnival period (such as donuts) and
they were allowed to eat greedier than usual.
In the second half of the 20th
century because of the political changes the carnival traditions changed. They
regularly organize school gatherings, balls, carnivals, sometimes on Ash
Wednesdays. As a result of the tradition of the Gluttonous Thursday soon worn
out and died.
In Hungary it was revived on Thursday after Ash Wednesday, some sources say it’s economical and would be due to the fact that meat remains in the household so that they are not allowed to be wasted today. On this day it is allowed to eat all the leftover foods from the carnival.
