i know what it is, and you *can* buy them here, but it's really just a thing for families from those parts. -- nm - Andie Feb 13, 08:49
Sorta, Sorta, no. - tRuMaN Feb 13, 08:47

someone in our office makes them and we end up with one in the kitchen every year. -- nm - Diva Feb 13, 08:40
It's available. I haven't had any, but Mardi Gras isn't until 2/28. -- nm - Callisto Buffalomeat Feb 13, 08:40
We've had one sent to our office every year by a client for the last 20+ years. It was here on Friday I think, but I didn't have any. -- nm - pmb Feb 13, 08:38
No, but I've had it before. (Assuming this is New Orleans type king cake) -- nm - Roger More Feb 13, 08:38
