Mardi Gras (/ˈmɑːrdiɡrɑː/), also called Shrove Tuesday, or Fat Tuesday, in English, refers to events of the Carnival celebrations, beginning on or after the Christian feasts of the Epiphany (Three King's Day) and culminating on the day before Ash Wednesday. Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday", reflecting the practice of the last night of eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season.
Related popular practices are associated with Shrovetide celebrations before the fasting and religious obligations associated with the penitential season of Lent. In countries such as England, Mardi Gras is also known as Shrove Tuesday, which is derived from the word shrive, meaning "confess".
Traditions
Popular practices on Mardi Gras include wearing masks and costumes, overturning social conventions, dancing, sports competitions, parades, debauchery, etc. Similar expressions to Mardi Gras appear in other European languages sharing the Christian tradition, as it is associated with the religious requirement for confession before Lent begins.
In many areas, the term "Mardi Gras" has come to mean the whole period of activity related to the celebratory events, beyond just the single day. In some American cities, it is now called "Mardi Gras Day".
Unlike previous albums, Mardi Gras had Stu Cook and Doug Clifford sharing songwriting and production with John Fogerty, as well as their own lead vocal contributions for the first time. Reviews were mixed to poor, and critics called the album "Fogerty's revenge". Following the album's release, the group was officially dissolved on 16 October in a statement released by the group and its record label Fantasy Records. Mardi Gras is the only album by the band that was not remastered and reissued until 2008 to mark the 40th anniversary of the band's formation.
Production
Previously, bandleader John Fogerty sang all lead vocals and composed nearly all the band's original material. Older brother Tom Fogerty had departed after a dispute which was in large part caused by his desire to play a larger creative role.
Generally recognized as safe (GRAS) is an AmericanFood and Drug Administration (FDA) designation that a chemical or substance added to food is considered safe by experts, and so is exempted from the usual Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) food additive tolerance requirements. The concept of food additives being "generally recognized as safe" was first described in the Food Additives Amendment of 1958, and all additives introduced after this time had to be evaluated by new standards.
History
On January 1, 1958, the FDA established the Food Additives Amendment of 1958, with a list of 700 food substances that were exempt from the then new requirement that manufacturers test food additives before putting them on the market. On August 31, 1960, William W. Goodrich, assistant general counsel of the FDA, addressed the annual meeting (16 Bus. Law. 107 -1960-1961) of the FFDCA. The purpose of the meeting was the forthcoming March 6, 1961, effective date of the enforcement provisions of the "Food Additives Amendment of 1958", referred to as GRAS.

Un p'tit sourire... Vivement mardi gras qu'on puisse enfin se déguiser Comme l'année passée on va avoir un tas d'idées Des marquises, des fées, des cow-boys, des plombiers Des douzaines d'infirmières et 53 sapeurs pompiers Des plus mal observés a ceux qui auraient pu mieux faire On prépare la soirée dans une ambiance du tonnerre Y'a toujours un malin pour se déguiser en mouche En cuvette de WC ou en escargot qui louche Ceux la 'faut qu'ils expliquent car c'est pas très évident Aux amis étonnés l'idée de leur déguisement Au cours de la soirée on tombe souvent nez a nez Avec un faux Coluche qui essaye de vous faire marrer Y'a toujours un public pour ce genre de rigolo Qui s'étrangle de rire en s'empiffrant de p'tits gâteaux Dans un p'tit canapé un groupe de gens pas déguisés Prétend avec fierté qu'il n'aime pas ces festivités N'empêche qu'ils sont partout faisant chaque fois acte de présence C'est les mieux déguisés dans leur tenue de suffisance On apporte le dessert 'faut éteindre toutes les lumières Car en plus aujourd'hui on célèbre un anniversaire En soufflant les bougies on fait voler le sucre glace Qu'un genre d'Henry Guybet va recevoir en pleine face Quand la fête est finie il reste toujours quelques amis Pleins de bonne volonté pour vous aider a nettoyer Il faut se dépêcher car demain on va au boulot Samedi tout l'monde revient pour la super soirée diapos Vivement mardi gras qu'on puisse enfin se déguiser Comme l'année passée on va avoir un tas d'ides Des marquises, des fées, des cow-boys, des plombiers Des douzaines d'infirmières et 53 sapeurs pompiers Des plus mal observés a ceux qui auraient pu mieux faire On prépare la soirée dans une ambiance du tonnerre
