I have always wanted to try an authentic southern beignet. We got a Doordash delivery to our hotel for lunch on the day of the wedding. It is not like a doughnut, closer in taste to a funnel cake. The sweetness comes from the mass of icing sugar it comes with. It is not overwhelmingly sweet tasting.
We also ordered some savoury items. Cajun Chicken and biscuit, Cajun fish and biscuit, and Cajun chicken po'boy. I like the Fish and Biscuit but M and K like the po'boy. They were all good.
We tried the beignets in New Orleans a long, long time ago. I wish I could remember what it tasted like.
ReplyDeleteThey look very sweet!
ReplyDeleteOh, those look like to be a once in a life time thing. I don't think I could have those very often. Glad you got to try them! Sounds like loads of southern comfort foods!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried those! Years back when a hurricane left many homeless in New Orleans we had lots of cajun places that opened up here. It was great to taste their menu. Although, I think many have moved back now. Great Monday post!
ReplyDeleteWow, those do look very delightful! Great to hear all the different foods you tried on your trip! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteIt must have been very tasty!
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon from Greece
Beignets are tasty, but very addictive.
ReplyDeleteOh yum!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious.
ReplyDeleteDear Christine, I read that funnel cake comes from Germany - based on the photo I think I know what it tastes like (we know it as Fanachtskuchen = carnival cake) - delicious!
ReplyDeleteAll the best and a good first week of June 🌼!

Lots of nice food, yummy! Valerie
ReplyDeleteThe food looks good. I'd like to try all of them!
ReplyDeleteRostrose, I did not know funnel cakes came from Germany, we have them at the fairs here in the summer.
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to savor some Southern specialties while you were down this way, Christine!
ReplyDeletegood for breakfast.... love it...yummy
ReplyDeleteI've had beignets once and they were so good.
ReplyDeleteOhhh! I would love to try it!
ReplyDeleteI love beignets. They always make me think of New Orleans.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you could get those in Atlanta. The ones in New Orleans are wonderful. Some stores carry the mix from New Orleans on their shelves, even here in K.C. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteOf course I wouldve loved to try the ones in New Orleans Linda
DeleteSe ve muy rico. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteThe only time I have ever had Beignets was in New Orleans and that was 40 years ago. Doordash is a great way to get food when traveling.
ReplyDeleteNow I am starving. I have never had a beignet, but they sound heavenly and fattening, like most southern food, "y'all."
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to enjoy those delicacies.
