Have you ever been to New Orleans?
One of the famous places to visit is Cafe du Monde. There are several of them scattered around the city, but I managed to get to the one in the Market in the French Quarter. Cafe Du Monde is famous for coffee with chicory, and beignets, which are made as you watch.
Hot, puffy little pillows of dough dusted with confectioner’s sugar. They are best eaten when they have cooled enough so that you don’t burn your fingers or your tongue. Yum!
You can order a gift package of the coffee, a box of beignet mix and a cup for $11.50 plus shipping. While I’d MUCH rather take a trip to N’awlins and have the real thing, this might tide me over. And it seems like a great gift for a snowbound friend.
To order, call 800/772-2927.
Arrrgh!!!
It's just my state of mind!
It’s always been my dream to go to New Orleans.One day..
I would kill to go to New Orleans! When I was in Memphis I tried beignets and fortunately for me I didn’t actually care that much for them. I was very pleased, the last thing I need is more fried food that I adore! 🙂
Mmmm… sounds very Yummy! I’d so love to go to New Orleans. On my list of ‘someday’.
I actually don’t drink coffee, so I’d rather save my money and spend it on a trip to NO. Besides, it’s more fun to have someone else make your beignets.
