Mardi Gras is French for “Fat Tuesday” — the famous festival in New Orleans, Louisiana. “Gras” is French for fat and “Mardi” is French for Tuesday. In many areas, the term “Mardi Gras” has come to mean the whole period of activity related to the celebratory events, beyond just the single day.
Carnival is an important celebration in Catholic European nations. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the week before Ash Wednesday is called ” shrovetide ” , ending on Shrove Tuesday. It has its popular celebratory aspects as well. Pancakes are a traditional food. Pancakes and related fried breads or pastries made with sugar, fat and eggs are also traditionally consumed at this time in many parts of Latin America and the Caribbean ~ wikipedia
Just what we need, a Fat Day!
My GUT FEELING is that they should change the name from Fat Tuesday to something like Good Tuesday!
Wish they had more FAT DAYS

I think they named a holiday after us!
‘Let’s get some donuts later.’
‘Why?’
‘It’s Paczki Day or doughnut day, my favourite day of the year!’
‘Let’s follow them up with a
Traditional New Orleans King Cake’
