A thread about Crepes.







They had Crepe stands all over the place in Paris -- I guess it's roughly the equivalent of hot dog stands in New York. (Or at least hot dog stands in movies that take place in New York. Never actually been to New York, myself.)

Anyhow, Crepes are awesome, and America needs Crepe Stands.

Crepes are only awesome if they're done right.

Which, more often than not, they aren't.

Well, I guess I am talking about the Crepes they made in France.

I think making good crepes is part of the French genome.

Haven't had many crepes in the States.

Are they those little thin pancakes?

Oh my god, I love those!

Huh. Guess I got lucky, then? Or maybe you're just too picky of a crepe connoisseur?

I love the Crepe Suzette. I wish I could just climb inside one and eat my way out from the inside.

Then just say, "I love little thin pancakes." It is a compromise.

But yes, I love them too. Tried to make them ONCE, but I didn't really have the proper materials. They came out of the pan in pieces... still tasted good, but not a real crepe.

Maybe I was just unlucky. Paris usually does alright but once you get to the rural parts of France with the rundown shacks it starts getting ehhh. Not unlike hotdog stands, in that regard.

Of course those rural parts of France were my mom's favorite holiday destination. Take that as you will.

So they tasted like crepe? :smug:

America has tons of crepe places that make awesome crepes. I miss my mom's crepes. She makes great ones.

That's just crepey

No matter how this thread goes down, can we go get some crepes after this?

The first crepe is for the dog.

That saying is because the first one or couple always come out sticking to the pan.

There's a Crepe place at 30th street station. Looks like I'm getting some crepes for lunch.

I tried making them once. They came out ok, but they were too much trouble. I have never had the desire to make them again.

My mom makes them with a cream cheese sugary filling (kinda like danish cheese) or whatever fruit she feels like putting in. From what I remember you need the pan to be as big as the crepe and really damn hot. She would fry up the crepes and just stack them until she was ready to add the filling and wrap them up.

I made mine with homemade whipped cream and a berry compote. I could have easily eaten bowls of that without the crepes.

I happen to make killer crepes n_n

I love the crepes they serve at a stand in the Medieval Market. Served with sugar and strawberry jam on a slice of brown paper, it's just a lovely, sugary mess to devour 'em hot.

Also, my mom makes crepes to die for!
