I think Maui onions beat Vidalias big time. But now, I'm curious about the Texas ones.

And don't forget Washington State's own Walla Walla sweet onions.

Re: Name That Food

what are the local equivalents of a French beignet. One you can find at many bakeries and at school carnivals and the other normally would be made at home? Both of these products originally came from different countries.

Miulang, have you had the beignets from the little cafe in Seattle Center's Center House? Made from choux pastry, which has a high water content that causes them to puff up, it's the same dough used to make eclairs. They are generally lighter than most malassada and andagi doughs.

Re: Name That Food

Regarding the Malasada, of course we all know that originated from Portugal.

More specifically, the Azores. From "The History of Fried Dough" ---
São Miguel in the Azores is credited with being the ancestral home of the Hawaiian malassada. The Portuguese likely brought the recipe with them when they colonized the Madeira Islands around 1420 and later the Azores. It is on the island of São Miguel that the term name malassada seems to first appear. The other islands in the Azores called them filhós.

Yeah, I have (and gotten all the powdered sugar all over my clothes, too). The dry dough mix they use is from Cafe du Monde, which is where the original beignets are fried up in the millions in NO, served with hot chicory coffee.

One Ton Pi Chips, from Maebo Noodle Factory.

Correct! I was so scared that they would never rebuild the factory when it burned down a couple of years ago, but thank god they started up again after only a few months and I can still get my One Ton Pi fix!

Re: Name That Food

Those One-Ton Chips are great as a topping on a chicken salad with oriental sesame dressing.

They have that perfect salty-sweet-deep fried crunch. Love the stuff!
