It's Mardi Gras Here!

This is Mardi Gras weekend here in St. Louis. Lots of celebrations going on and lots of good food. Do you celebrate Mardi Gras and if you do, is there any special foods you make to celebrate? I've made the traditional items, King Cake, Jambalaya, greens, red beans and rice etc. Now I've made myself hungry agan :lol3:

No I've never celebrated Mardi Gras but I bet we love the same baseball team,

Huh, I always associated Mardi Gras with New Orleans and didn't know it was big elsewhere.
Mmmmm, haven't had jambalaya in a while now I'm hungry too!

It's really big in Germany, where it's called Karneval, Fasching, Fasnet or Fastnacht, depending on the area. It's one thing I've never been able to get into, as a lot of people seem to use it as an excuse to drink way too much and sleep with strangers.

I've never celebrated, but it sounds like fun.
