Whiskey Business Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Not all Mardi Gras celebrations are about beads and moonpies. In southwest Louisiana, some small towns in the boonies celebrate the old time way. In the morning, a group of costumed riders get polluted on whiskey and beer and go from house to house and gather ingrediants for a gumbo. Usually the homeowner throws a live chicken at them and they run into each other trying to catch it. This goes on all morning, going from house to house, drinking, falling off their horses. Then they take the chickens (which are a bit worse for the wear) back into town where they get thrown into a gumbo. Then everybody drinks and eats until midnight, the start of Lent.

Whiskey Business Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 The next day, Ash Wednesday they go to mass and get ashes rubbed on their forheads. The give up something like chocolate or smoking and don't eat meat on Fridays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Allie Mo You'll also have to go the Cafe Du Monde for beignets, those are awesome. For the best po boy, go to Mother's. Unbelivably good stuff. I recommend the debris po boy. Real french baguette, tender roast beef (they roast it for hours) and pan debris from the roast piled on top with a touch of shredded cabbage.

Iron Pony Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Whiskey we had family in the area, Metarie and a cousin in the french quarter. Emily took us to a place called Grits' (IIRC) with food, pool and dancing. The owner was real particular about no dancing in the pool room for some unknown reason. It was wild to watch the wall of police and street sweepers come through right at the stroke of midnight. We had lunch one day at the southern yacht club and a crawfish boil dinner at the home of our host the next. Complete with the times picayune on the picnic table and dixie beer, cigars and brandy after dinner. Flew out a couple of days after and I made it home so broke I had to get a "pay me later" envelope from a toll taker and that was for fifty cents.

Spanish Bit Bobb Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 I pulled my punch there. There are worse images in that slide show. MUCH worse. Yep, one image that was burnt inta my innocent lil' mind, waz a guy in a white sailor suit with @ss end cut out. He had a beautiful, sweet young thing in tow...only ta find out she was a he. Now, I don't mind drivelin But I sure do hate snivelin And name-callin greenhorns for sure They barge through our doors Like an old sway-backed horse Who thinks he's still lovely and pure They'll point bony fingers At all us who linger At the bar here, just mindin our own Our drivelin amuses But for them, it confuses So I think they should go the hell home. If you don't like our bar Then just hop in your car And drive to your forum of choice Cause we're friends here ya see? You should just let us be Around here Bud, you ain't got no voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
