My DH yesterday bought a can of Cafe du Monde in their honor. We haven't
done that in a long time. I told him if he'd open that fryer that I bought
oh so long ago, that I'd make him some Beignets.
But right now, we just found out that we have a horrendous leak under the
sink. He's on his hands and knees.

The Cafe du Monde is one of my favorite places; great to hear that it's
open again! Carol

Our life may not always be the party we would have chosen, but while we
are here, we may as well dance!

Is it possible to duplicate or even come close to making Cafe du Monde
coffee in cans for home taste anything like what you get in the
restaurant?

A friend brought me a can home to Toledo one time and I could not make
anything that tasted good with it. I ended up throwing away most of
the can, but now I am wondering if I should have tried something else.

Anyone who has made it at home, can you tell me the proper way to do
it and if it is worth the trouble to get another can or should I just
pray that one day I can make it there in person? Also, doesn't Chock
Full of Nuts have chicory and if so, how close is it to the CDM
brand??

Dear Bozo,
Choc-a-nuts tastes the same to me as Cafe du Monde. I don't buy it, but DH
will buy it if he has something quirky going on inside the head that day.
If I drink it, I make it STRONG, then add plenty of milk. Cinnamon and
cocoa might help. It's not a coffee I want to serve often. And I wouldn't
drink it without a tidbit (like beignets) to go along with it.

Ah, beignets! Isn't that the point? :-)
