I went to the Café Du Monde and ate beignets in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.
I’ve been to the original Café Du Monde Coffee Stand in the New Orleans French Market in the US. I had a good time and enjoyed their delicious beignets.
The beignets are served in an order of three big ones in the US, and six small ones in Japan. The differences may be for three reasons.
The first reason would be that three large beignets are too much for a Japanese woman.
The second would be that Japanese women hate getting their hands greasy.
The last reason would be that Japanese women hate the flying powdered sugar.
So, we eat small beignets in one bite with a fork.
Do you think big ones would be better? I prefer small ones!
Thank you.

I looked up beignets on the Wikipedia site, and they seem large, even to me. There's far too much powdered sugar on them. Way too much for me to consider eating. I can understand why having smaller beignets would be preferable to larger ones if they are served in the way shown in the wikipedia photograph.
The only desserts you should need a knife and fork for are pies and cakes!
Good work on the post, Yuri!
