When I saw this title I was a little flabbergasted. I have never heard of any connection between peanut butter and Mardi Gras, leave it to a great site like Helium to find this! Looking it up on-line is pretty useless too,since there is no real story to find. The only connection between peanut butter and Mardi Gras I can offer is simply my personal point of view.

So the first connection I can see is neither of them are to good for you if over indulged in! They can both lead to nausea if enjoyed a little "to much."

The next connection is they are both full of nuts! When you go to New Orleans and visit Mardi Gras, you will see what I am talking about. Some of he people tend to drink a little to much and act a little nutty! Then we all know peanut butter is made out of, well peanuts!

Then the simple connection, many people spend all their money on partying. This leaves them with not much money to spend on food so they resort to cheap and simple cuisine, peanut butter and jelly.

I have also heard that during the Luling parade, there is a person dressed up as a peanut. Then they go on to play the famous peanut butter and jelly song.

You can also pack peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and they will last awhile without requiring refrigeration. This is a simple item to pack as you head out to a great party scene like Mardi Gras.

The connection I find most likely is the artists called Peanut Butter artists. they are known for their outrageous assortment of great make-up designs and outfits. You see a ton of outrageousness during Mari Gras, so I think this is the connection Helium is most likely asking for.

Not many people know of this peanut butter artistic talent. There is a large array from easy going to totally outrageously crazy styles covered in the peanut butter artistic forms.

When you browse the Internet for connections between Mardi Gras and peanut butter, you can come across man, many interesting recipes. People who frequent Mardi Gras simply seem to enjoy eating peanut butter! Manyof the recipes sound really good, and I may just have to try some of them.

Perhaps it one of those things to make us sit back and wonder. Not everything makes sense to everyone.

Some things in this world simply go together without a clear explanation, and this may be one of them for many of us. It is definitely not like peanut butter and jelly, were we can not picture one without the other, is it?
