Mardi Gras can be traced back to the medieval, and we do mean “evil,” times of Europe. French settler Jean Baptiste Le Moyne Sieur de Bienville (huh?) brought the tradition to the states, celebrating the first Mardi Gras in 1703. It means “fat Tuesday” symbolized by excessive eating prior to the Lenten fast.
