Sorry meant to copy that quote> but anyways, the beignets ARE the exact ones from Cafe Du Monde!! While in N.O a few years ago we had the opportunity to dine at the original Cafe Du Monde and the Manager there informed us that The only place other than their cafes to get their mix and recipes was at the POFQ bakery.
As an original cast member there I can vouch for that.
You can buy the mix all over the place, so I don't know about the validity of that claim (was the Manager moonlighting as a bus driver?)
in any case, they sure as heck do not have the same consistency, tooth, or mouthfeel. Maybe they are cooking them differently.
