Beignets are French doughnuts ubiquitous among the tourist fare of New Orleans. They are fried and served covered in powdered sugar. The ones pictured above were purchased from Cafe Beignet on Bourbon Street. I later went for a reprise of the beignet experience at Cafe du Monde, a 24-hour place in the French Market (picture below). Although I didn't have it, they are noted for serving beignets with chicory coffee.

Did you know that in France beignets means something a little different? I just wrote a page about it, if you're interested. Gotta try those New Orleans beignets I do!
