I'd say calas were the more common and economical preparation in New Orleans for a long time. The French/Europeans have had fried wheat flour dough since the middle ages, but rice was/is the primary grain grown in our region and flour was a pricier ingredient that would need to be imported. Hard to find prices for the early era, but if beignets were 10 cents and calas were 5 cents(or 2 to 1 picayunes) it just makes sense for a majority of the population to make/buy calas, especially at home as it was a great way to use leftover cooked rice.

It was really good! I just wish outsiders would let more locals/Creole people help them tell our own stories. I went with my mom and we shared a few things with him regarding its origins. Hopefully he includes that now too

We make them at home. They used to be more common in our community until the emergence of the beignet.

I just looked this up, and they’re naturally gluten free. Can’t wait to go!🙏🏽 I love New Orleans, but not being able to eat beignets literally makes me cry every time.😂 Seriously, I think this will be my bday trip this year.😋
