In this Monday, Jan. 28, 2013 photo, calas cake with powdered sugar is seen at The Old Coffeepot Restaurant in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Tired of celebrating Mardi Gras with the same old beignets? Make the switch to calas, tangy rice fritters born to go with cafe au lait. Calas (KAH-luhs) can be tough to find these days, but they have a rich history that spans the great cuisines of New Orleans. (AP Photo/Gerald Herbert)
