I just found it amusing how it's placed on the label. The way it's bolded at the end reads like an allergen warning. "This product may contain peanuts, gluten, and plastic babies."

Isn't it Fasnacht day? The day before lent. The PA Dutch celebrate especially. I knew it to eat sweet breads(Pound cake not the other sweetbreads) with Syrup that day and Doughnuts.

Quote:
In the United States, which celebrates Carnival mainly in the Southeastern region (Louisiana and New Orleans in particular), it is associated with Mardi Gras traditions.

The cake has a small trinket (often a small plastic baby, sometimes said to represent Baby Jesus) inside, and the person who gets the piece of cake with the trinket has various privileges and obligations (such as buying the cake for the next celebration).


Sorry. It's so damn common here, I thought everyone had heard of it. :oops:
