Product Description:
The Acadians, an ethnic group from southern France, emigrated to Nova Scotia, Canada in the 1600's. The British overtook Nova Scotia in the eighteenth century and forced the Acadians, whose decendants are known as 'Cajuns,' to sail southward to Louisiana. They brought with them a time-honored recipe for French doughnuts, or beignets. These crispy, powdered-sugar coated fritters, delicious plain or filled with fruit, are now served at Café du Monde and are best when served with their coffee and chicory.
