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)

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.
