What is FAT Tuesday, is it a party like mardi gras?

Fat tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday in the Catholic faith. Fat tuesday is a day when people gorge themselves with food to prepare for all the days of fasting during the Catholic season of lent. Mardi Gras is just a spin-off excuse for a party! haha
