l'abomination de manger

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

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

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.

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

:) 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

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.
