It\u2019s pronounced \u201cben-yay\u201d and it\u2019s the dessert everyone has to have, but be forewarned\u2014you\u2019re about to fall in love. You might find posers, but the real deal is at Caf\u00e9 Du Monde, which has multiple locations around New Orleans (most of which are open 24\/7). The first Caf\u00e9 was opened in 1862 in the French Market and still exists today. For history buffs or purists who want the original original, only the French Market Du Monde\u2019s will \u201cdeux.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the early days, it was your basic coffee shop. Mostly, it specialized in dark roasts with chicory, or fresh squeezed orange juice as an alternative. However, like most coffee shops, Du Monde\u2019s found that patrons wanted something sweet with their coffee. Beignets are a traditional French doughnut smothered in powdered sugar. Get three or a bunch with the Caf\u00e9\u2019s famous caf\u00e9 au lait for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.<\/p>\n

\"beignet\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Messy Means Delicious<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a tradition to be as messy as you like when eating your beignet. The floors are covered in powdered sugar\u2014as are most patrons when they leave! Beignets were first brought to Louisiana by way of the Acadians, and were fried fritters occasionally filled with fruit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, today the beignets are fruitless, served in groups of three, and it\u2019s just as much the experience as the sweet delicacy that brings hordes of revelers to Caf\u00e9 du Monde.<\/p>\n
