Louisianans go door to house on horses to collect ingredients for gumbo for Mardi Gras celebrations only in the Bayou State. Locals engage in egg-pquer competitions to try who can open their rival's Easter egg first. In Louisiana, where natural catastrophes occur often, a beverage like Pat O'Brien's well-known hurricane can be created. Additionally, the history of the state is rife with interesting characters, such as Governor Earl K. Long, whose wife sent him to a mental hospital before he used his political influence to push for his own release. These stories might appear strange or unbelievable elsewhere, yet they all take place in Louisiana.
