Mardi Gras

Rush Limbaugh Thread Eats 2/28/17

The chef is here. Good eats for everyone.

King Cake

Pancakes

This is Georgia. We serve them with peaches.
Pancakes are one of the oldest foods we eat. They reached roughly their modern form around 900 AD. They became associated with Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) as a way of using up all the old oil in the house before the start of Lent tomorrow.

Had pancakes the last few days. Also big in the Polish communities is the eating of the extra large donnuts with jelly called puzskis.

Also there is the practice of putting the king cake a little plastic baby and whoever finds it has good fortune for the year.
