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??)

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

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

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.

:) 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
