Beignets and Café au Lait: These Saints Are a Bad Football Team

Hi Y’all!

We are back! The 2021-22 NFL season is underway, with the ecstasy of victory and the agony of untimely interceptions. So, let’s take a look at what happened in the Saints’ game yesterday. But before that...

As always, for our novice or non-New Orleanians readers, welcome!

Let’s start with some definitions:

Beignets (English: /bu025bnu02c8jeu026a/; French: [bu025bu0272u025b], ben-YAY literally bump) are distinctly New Orleans, a delicacy intimately connected to the city’s rich French heritage. Best enjoyed heavily powdered with sugar.

Café au lait (/u02cckæfeu026a ou028a u02c8leu026a, kæu02ccfeu026a, ku0259-/; French: [kafe olu025b]; French for “coffee with milk”) is a delicious New Orleans way to start your day.
