Café du Monde’s Beignet | Legendary Eats

The last girl is spot on. Even if you don't like beignets, you have to hit up Café du Mondé just for the tradition. Cool joint.

[@in_wino_veritas]

My guess is that she doesn't even like it, there's no evidence of her even ordering them. Although I can imagine her ordering one beignet without powdered sugar on top of it. Or maybe with less powdered sugar.

[@donkmeister]

In France, beignets are doughnuts... They're circular, with a filling, never had them served hot either. Maybe US doughnuts are different to what we call a doughnut in Europe so for you they're different but for us they're the same (pancakes and waffles are very different in the US too). I remember when I was a child, in the summer the beignet seller would come onto the beach with a big cooler full of them. Sometimes I'd have a chocolate-filled one as a treat, fantastic. I remember marvelling at how big they were, it would probably look small now!
