Anyone want to explain to us 1st Worlders what this means? Like they release a bunch of chickens in front of Fred’s or something?

Its based on an old tradition involving the men of the community going on horseback from door to door asking for donations and ingredients to cook a community gumbo to celebrate mardi gras. “Sure you can have a chicken out in the yard if you can catch it”
From there they head back to town and cook a big gumbo, play music, etc for the town.
Its just for fun now.

Men on horseback go from farmhouse to farmhouse begging for ingredients for a community gumbo that evening. After the Mardi Gras runners entertain the farmer to his likening by dancing and generally being idiots, they donate to the gumbo. Most of them offer chickens but instead of handing them over they throw them and the runners chase them and catch them for the gumbo.
It’s an all day ride around the countryside

Wish I could go, Mamou was quite an experience. Walked past a group of 8 year olds all drinking them a beer

I went to the Cajun Mardi Gras in Church Point years ago. Kick in the arse. Best Mardi Gras I ever had. Better than the NOLA Mardi Gras.
If you want beads instead of showing your boobs, you just show your cock…
