It's been 30 years and I still can't get over the fact that the French word for "potatoes" is "ground apples." Have The French never had an apple? (midwest.social)

French people do eat apple beignets, which are basically fried apples.

If you've never had one before, apple beignets are easy to make and delicious, plenty of recipes around.

That's right I guess, but at least in a beignet there's a bit of preparation involved, I was picturing just whole fried apples or maybe like french fries but made of apple, but you're right I guess beignet counts.
