If your asking yourself "what's a Beignet"? It's a sad life you have lived

Also called French Market Doughnuts. Fried up into a hollw puff type pastry covered in powdered sugar. Outstanding with coffee!

When you finish that breakfast treat go right down the street to the Central Grocery and enjoy a Muffuletta and a couple of cold beers for lunch, it is the real deal

Amen to the Muff at Central Grocery, it's the best I have ever eaten. I think the secret is in the Olive Salad and the Round Bread.

Proceed with caution after dark down there, lots of stray lead.

Take cabs and stay out of the red light side of Bourbon and you'll be fine.

Thanks for the tip Captain, putting it on the list!

08-12-2009, 07:57 PM

thanks for the info

ain't nothing better for a late night than a Beignet and a good coffee

Mugen910 · 08-13-2009, 10:57 AM

had my first Beignet sampler at Brenda's French Soul Food in San Fran..I guess this little hole in the wall place made the best in the area...had a taste of an Apple Beignet , Plain Beignet, and Crab Beignet

Tenor CS · 08-13-2009, 11:38 AM

Although I'm sure they pale in comparison to real New Orleans beignets, one of the pluses of living in Orlando is being close to Disney, and therefore the Port Orleans resort. The wife and I have been known to head out there for Sunday morning breakfast of beignets, an omelet, and coffee.

Mister Moo · 08-13-2009, 01:17 PM

Oh my. Beignets.

My my my...

Something about a plate of beignets, powdered sugar all over your shirt and a cuppa at CDM on a spring morning down around New Orleans. It's just one of those things that there isn't anything else to compare it to.

Thx for the recipe.

My my my my my....

Volt · 08-13-2009, 01:41 PM

Note to first time beignet eaters.... Only eat on the exhale or you WILL suck down the powered suger into the lungs .... makes life fun when you do that

Good advice,,,Im one of those guys who try to suck em down as fast as I can get em into my mouth,,,have actually choked on all of the powdered sugar.

captain53 · 08-13-2009, 07:37 PM

I have enjoyed this Thread, we got the coffee selected to go with the sweet beignets, lunch picked out and later we will work on dinner. But if we get up early and sit on the edge of the Mighty MS while watching the sunrise we need something to smoke with that fine first cup of CDM (always the best cup too). Suggestions for the perfect Coffee Cigar?
