I know I risk being laughed off the DIS boards with this question but....
What are beignets?
I'm guessing they're a dessert of some kind...someone please enlighten this Yankee!![]()
Nah, you won't get laughed off the board, because they are really a New Orleans thing, and I think they only have them at Port Orleans French Quarter because of the N'awlins/Mardi Gras theme.
They are deep fried pillows of dough with a ton of powdered sugar dumped on them. Kinda like a funnel cake only in a puffy rectangle shape. Soooooo good though! But don't wear anything dark-colored because all that powdered sugar makes a mess! I should probably bring a bib for myself.
