Mardi Gras Mardi Gras is the annual, fun-filled celebration of New Orleans-fame that commemorates the final days before Lent.  The term Mardi Gras literally means "fat Tuesday," the day before Ash Wednesday.
This long standing European tradition (also known as "carnival") was brought
to Louisiana by the French in the late 1600s. By the 1850s, krewes
(organizations) were formed to help preserve Mardi Gras through planning,
management and organization. The idea worked, and today, one hundred and
fifty years later, these krewes continue to host a multitude of parades,
balls and other Mardi Gras events—keeping the tradition of spectacular
floats, colorful throw beads and
tasty king
cakes alive and well.Recipes for a Mardi Gras Mood This carnival season, try your hand at some Louisiana favorites like the ones below to get into the celebratory spirit. And what's for dessert?
