"BANGYAYS" is how it sounds, and they're yummy!
It's French... it's actually the most phonetically said
been -yay

How do you say beignets?
Just wondering how to pronounce this. We're staying at POFQ and I want to try these. Don't want to be embarrased!!!
Hi....Sorry to give this thread a little hijack....but please fill me in on PO.....is FQ the way to go? Can someone tell me the difference between the 2 resorts?
Thanks!
Hey! I went thereI went to college at Nicholls State. Talk about some strange pronunciations. Between Thibidaux, Beauregard Hall, and Gouaux Hall, it would get pretty funny listening to visitors try to pronounce the words.
Awww Brook... now you got me missing Cafe du Monde.baguette:

I've become confused by this thread.Perhaps all those years spent in school during Edwin Edwards years in the 70s has addled my brain.
I agree with ben-yay or been-yay given that the poster meant "been" as in "Been there, done that."
Tchoupitoulas: its an Indian word. Not french. Not cajun. Not even creole. Pronounced CHOP-it-TOO-luhs.
I submit I am out of touch but I grew up in Carrollton/Uptown and never once met a Cajun from New Orleans. Naturally many things have changed and people self-identify differently now.
That said, enjoy Port Orleans!
it is a French word == sorryit means fritter or doughnut. Cafe du Monde just uses the general word to aquait to the dessert and so in certain areas that is what people think a beignet is
And yes I am aware of what cajun is, thanks![]()
Lived in LA for a few years and didn't get into the beignets, but deep fried turkey-YUUUMMMM! We never roast anymore!![]()
