The beloved celebration of Mardi Gras (aka Fat Tuesday) takes place in downtown Honolulu. The tradition began as a day to enjoy in excess what one will be giving up the next day for Lent.
Part of this tradition is eating and drinking. The Cajun-style tradition would be to eat things like Alligator tail, for example.
Alligator tail. Or Chicken. You decide...but Gayle, Becky and I had a great time at the very un-authentic Cajun Style Downtown Mardi Gras celebration.
Laissez les bon temps rouler!!
And what fun it was! Too bad you'll be gone for Paddy's Day!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a blast! I wish I went downtown that night, I never had cajun food...or un-authentic cajun food.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, Sue and I were there. I was dressed up as Aquaman (shocker). Sue was a pirate. What a spectacle it was!
