Mardi Gras, the celebration that marks the day before Lent— a period of fasting in the Christian religion— has long been associated with New Orleans but was actually started in Mobile, Ala., in 1699. New Orleans was not founded until 1718. Let the good times roll with Naw'lins-inspired Mardi Gras treats.
