no, do you mean baget?

 

guess not,.......well,...it's a dough you mix up,.....a lot like doughnut dough,....then you drop it in hot grease until it puffs up and floats to the top,,...(about 15 seconds),....then you sprinkle it with powdered sugar and serve hot. Gotta have coffe with it!

 

kind of like a donut hole huh?

 

Beignets are the state doughnut of Louisiana. Pronounced, "ben-yay", New Orleans locals often call them "French Doughnuts" or "French Market Doughnuts". Beignets were brought to Louisiana in the 1800's by the French Acadians from Nova Scotia. Although you're free to serve them any way you prefer, the traditional New Orleans beignet is a square piece of dough, about 3" x 3". They're deep-fried until they get puffy, and then they're served hot and covered generously in powdered sugar. Like a sloppy roast-beef poboy or hot boiled crawfish, eating beignets is usually messy, with bits of the powdered sugar winding up in the darndest places

Well, that sounds better than toast!

 

I like donuts. The beignet sounds delicious, but I my manliness prevents me from eating (admitting to eating) anything that sounds French. I think it has something to do with France's military track record. Yeah, that's it.

 

I think the helmet gets in the way of the beer bottle when you tip it up?????????????????

 

Bumping...only because I feel beignets deserve more recognition...
