The Fat Tuesday Recipes That'll Help You Celebrate Mardi Gras Right
 

In the UK, Fat Tuesday is known as Shrove Tuesday -- a day celebrated by eating a stack of fluffy pancakes. In Poland, it's Paczki Day -- which refers to the jelly-filled doughnuts they eat the day before lent. And for Americans, Mardi Gras is basically synonymous with New Orleans, home to some of the best (and richest) foods in the country.
