It would seem some of the French Mardi Gras dishes that have survivied
to this day be tailor-made for what you want to do. I do know that in
Ireland (possibly the last place on earth where Shrove Tuesday is
celebrated under that name) it is customary to eat pancakes for tea on
Shrove Tuesday, presumably a throwback to the fairly pan-European habit
of eating various types of fritters and beignets, fried in fat, on Fat
Tuesday.

Not necessarily a period dish, but I'd think fried oysters might be an
interesting dish combining Mardi Gras customs and a 7 deadly sins
motif...
