How many beignets do people eat?

[bethwc101]

DH and I will be joining my family and will be a total party of 8 including 2 teenage boys. My siblings. We are trying to figure out how many bags of beignets to get at Ralph Brennans for breakfast. The family says it has 10. I feel like that's not a lot as one teenage boy could probably do that on his own. How many beignets does an average person eat? What about anybody who has had a teenage boy and the beignets give me a ballpark as to what quantity we are looking at getting?

My favorite breakfast! I do not have a teenage boy so not sure how many they would eat, but 3 of us share the family size and leave stuffed. Most of the time I have leftovers and save them for later. DH eats 3-4, DD (15) and I each have 2 or 3. They also have the beignet french toast which DD loves.

I would say the boys having 4 each is a safe bet. They are a good size and super sweet.

I usually have 2 or 3. They are messy but good.

As many as I can! Sorry...couldn't hold back on that response!

I think 2 is reasonable as when I eat 3, I feel overfull and wish I didn't eat them.

How many CAN I eat? Or how many do I normally stop at so I don't feel sick? I could easily eat 10, but usually stop around 6, more than that becomes a grease bomb sitting in my stomach for a couple hours. You ingest a surprising amount of oil with each one and this old stomach can't handle grease as it could when I was young. Sometimes I just get the 4 pack as a treat after already having a light breakfast. They are pretty small and don't really have protein so don't help much with satiety.

Well, I have a 15 year old DD that weighs 105 pounds soaking wet and last time we got beignets in WDW ( at POFQ) she ate 5 by herself- with a scoop of ice cream and raspberry puree! I ate 3 but really could have eaten more...and DH had his own container of 6 and scarfed those down pretty easily. None of us felt sick or queasy afterward, so its all about how much your stomach can handle!

All of them.......

For my family of four including a teenage boy, we did a 10 count. I think he likely ate 3-4 of them by himself.

3 per person

 

[SOCALMouseMommy]

I've only had them as a snack not a meal but I can eat 1-2.

6-10 easy!!!

Really? Or just a bit of an exaggeration? We're buying at Ralph Brennan's and bringning them to into DCA for breakfast so are trying to ballpark how many bags to get

We got them as a snack and I thought our family of 6 would eat a lot, so I bought 2 family size (24 total), but we only ate about 12 total. It was our first time trying them and it wasn't quite what I expected. They were still good though. I grew up eating sopaipillas and I think they are very similar. I think it is more of a dessert than a breakfast, but then again I don't like donuts for breakfast either.

Funny, i grew up eating sopapillas as well(and they are very similar), but salty with homemade beans. My mom never made the sugar cinnamon version. Never had those until I saw them in a taco shop lol.

We ate them with sugar or butter and honey!

We’ve never really been into them. They’re just kinda plain. If we’re going to eat “bad” then we eat ice cream, churros or even a funnel cake from Hungry Bear once in a while. And never for breakfast! Lol! I’d be a zombie for the rest of the day!

 

[cinnaminny]

2 or 3

I usually eat them as a dessert after a big meal and can still easily put away 2. If they were my meal, I would do 3-4. However, those dudes are greasy and your stomach tells you pretty fast when you're done.
