An excuse to eat crepes! And I missed it! :s

[dhampyresa]

You don't need an excuse to eat crêpes!

[glinda]

I really, really don't...but I will take every excuse I can find none the less! :D

spork de manger

I wish! I can't make them. In 8th grade our French teacher took us to the kitchen to make crêpes for class. She was French-Korean (ethnically Korean Frenchwoman, I think from Paris) and we all made crêpes under her tutelage. ALL OF US made horrible-looking amoebas. But delicious amoebas. Hers came out as PERFECT CIRCLES. It was hilarious. (And yummy!) =D

(Comment dit-on "spork" en français??)

Did you use a pan or a hot plate? It takes some practice to get the perfect circles -- but luckily that has no influence on the taste.

(On dit "Mais qu'est-que c'est que cette abomination?!" :P En fait on dit une spork, apparemment, mais je t'avouerais que je n'ai jamais entendu ou vu personne utiliser ce mot.)

Pan, probably; I think that's what the middle school kitchen had.

My chocolate chip cookies are also amoebas. /o\ It's a theme...

Drat, I can't remember the past participle for "rire," but I LOL'd. :p

Confession time: I don't know how to do crêpes with a pan, only a billig.

Tbh, as long as it's edible, who cares?

Tu as ri? YAY!

[alasse_irena]

Thank you for this advice. I will eat a crepe immediately.

[dhampyresa]

I hope you ate a good crêpe!

l'abomination de manger

Oh, you'll find this hilarious--in Baton Rouge (probably elsewhere in Louisiana too) you can get muffaletta crêpes...

Re: l'abomination de manger

[dhampyresa]

I don't understand. Do they put the bread in the crêpe?

Re: l'abomination de manger

It's even weirder--it's the sandwich version from New Orleans, not the bread version. So the crêpe portion is used as the "sandwich bread" and the fillings (mozzarella, salami, etc.) are wrapped inside to make a crêpe-wich. I've had one. It was delicious yet weird.

Re: l'abomination de manger

[dhampyresa]

See, that makes perfect sense. It's a savoury crêpe*. Do they use wheat or buckwheat for the dough?

* I wasn't kidding when I said I think of crêpes like I do of bread or pizza -- they're a staple food, you can put whatever on them. OMG bulgogi crêpes

Re: l'abomination de manger

[yhlee]

:) There's a place in Mountain View, CA (my sister lives there) that does sweet and savory crêpes both--I have really liked the ones with salmon and crème fraîche (sp?) and capers.

I would eat bulgogi crêpes in a heartbeat! FUSION FOOD FTW

Re: l'abomination de manger

Tbh, savoury crêpes are my favourite. One that's super nice and easy to make is putting egg + ham + cheese (+ onions, if you're feeling daring) on the crêpe.

Crème fraîche and crème fraiche are both fine -- I mention this since I know you're having issues with accents.

Me too! When I was in Edinburgh I had a Scottish/French fusion crêpe whose main ingredients where haggis + brie and it was divine.

HURRAY!

I need cheering up today, it is peeing it down out there. All the crepes for me later!

[dhampyresa.livejournal.com]

YAY EAT ALL THE CRÊPES!

Oh, man, I've never heard of this holiday before, but I am DOWN with celebrating it. Hooray for crepes!

THE DAY OF CRÊPES!
