L $$ D $$ – Mid-City ©Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation & Tourism Insider's Tip Sometimes called a "French donut," these decadent treats were brought to Louisiana by the Acadians. A beignet is a square piece of dough that, upon being deep fried, forms a slightly doughy yet slightly crispy pillow and is covered with powdered sugar. There are other savory versions, with fillings such as crawfish or shrimp also seen on New Orleans menus. 58 NEW ORLEANS CONVENTION & VISITORS BUREAU
