Memories...  I remember I didn't want to come home after that!
We don't have King Cake here, but we do have malassadas (eaten year round, but even moreso on Fat Tuesday):
Malassadas are essentially a doughnut shaped as shown (no hole in it), about the size of a racket ball, deep fried until golden brown and dusted with a light coat of granulated sugar. It's best when served hot! Malassadas originally came to Hawaii in the late 1800s when Portuguese immigrants came here to work on the plantations.

^^^ Thanks OTW, now I am craving one of those (even though I've never had one, they just look good) and I am supposed to be fasting!

Catholic rules = no wasting food. If it's already made, you eat it and fast another day.

I gave up fast food. I made a list of places that constitute fast food. Restaurants aren't fast food but Taco Bell, KFC, etc are.
I thought about giving up Coke, but I've already done it twice! Haha! Other years it was French fries and ice cream.

On Fat Tuesday, the tradition in this area is to go to one of the Polish bakeries and buy Paczekis (pronounced Poonch keys). Oh, they are soooooo good!
Fat Tuesday didn't get it's name for nothing!
