Paczki in Champaign-Urbana?

Can anyone help me find authentic paczki around Champaign-Urbana? I searched last year and came up with nothing. I must be spoiled from eating my great-grandmother's paczki and the various kinds available in Chicago... While I'm happy with a few aspects of the fare available down here, there are some serious culinary lacunae that contribute to my deep yearning for Chicago life.

(I am a long-time lurker on lthforum, and the pressing nature of this question has moved me to finally register as a real member. I have been eager to contribute to some of the discussions here, so this will not be a hit-and-run post, I promise!)

I'm also from that area. Can't say I know of any place to get some, but one of my former colleagues is Polish. I'll ask him and post back if he knows of any place.

I spoke to some Polish friends today. No place to buy these in Champaign. But they said the Polish club here brings down a few hundred from Chicago just before Ash Wednesday, which was a few days ago. Sorry for the poor timing.

Hi,

Do you have the contact information for the Polish club? While it may be too late this time, it's great to know for next year.

Regards,

Thank you for suggesting the Polish Club! I'm a graduate student (i.e. hermit crab) and as such seem to miss the bulk of extracurriculars' publicity. I will have to email to find out if they have recommendations for next years' paczki, in addition to some other Czech/Slovak dishes I have been craving.

An additional question (in case someone reading might know):

One of my favorite Slovak foods is a bread that is stuffed with a filling (usually baker's cheese + egg, or sauteed cabbage) and then baked. The bread is on the drier side and is perfect for eating with mushroom soup. My family calls it pagaci (or pagach). I have the recipe, but it is time-consuming and never seems to come out like my grandmother's. When I have more time, I will have to get it right...finding the baker's cheese (or dry cottage cheese) in central IL has been surprisingly difficult.

Anyway, when I mentioned this bread to some Russian and Czech friends, they didn't know the name. Does anyone know of the Russian or Czech name for this bread (I'm convinced there must be another name for it)? Or anywhere a lazy girl can buy it in Chicago? I wish I spoke more Polish or Czech...
