    Have they been delicious? The image on Wikipedia looks like it would be wonderful.

    Also, I totally read that as “oilyboi”, which would be a great food name.

    So I had to wiki them. I’m from Louisiana, have you ever had beignets?

    Wiki says there’s a version known as beignets rapides, as well as croustillons and croustillons hollandais.

    Beignets aren’t ever filled, at least none that I’ve ever had, but they are covered with powder sugar like a snow drift. Nothing like a fried dough sugar rush to get you going.

    Now I want to make some with fruit filling. Thanks!

      We stayed at a place around the corner from Loretta’s. Those beignets were so good. Our table basically looked like Tony Montana’s desk after breakfast.

    Totally thought this was a typo of “edible” at first lol. I was like oh jeez, that’s a lot, and that typo is so bad that it does seem like 7 edibles deep.

    Did you eat them warm? There are these weird people who live to the north of me who let them cool down for some reason.

      I sure do! It’s the best, if not the only way. (But it seems you met my wife (or heard about her))

    Seven? You were staying near a defibrillator, right? If I were to eat any fried pastries, I would eat apple beignets. When my grandmother was still alive, she used to make them herself. Those were delicious.

      There is one 1500 meters down the road, but that won’t be of any use i’d guess.

      I’ll bet she poured a little rum in it (a common ‘secret’ ingredient. The alcohol will evaporate in the process)

    These have so many varied and interesting names! Lard spheres, fried mice, Dutch crispies, babies, messed up Saint Sylvester’s, dreams, puff puff, love balls…

    You could see all of those on a menu and assume they’re all different! 1 of everything please.
