I tend to waffle on a bit and I do spout a lot of crepe so I voted for pancakes. :D

To be slightly serious, walking around little Parisian streets and stopping at a roadside stall for crepes is one of the best things this world can offer.

Crepes in Paris are up there with:

a slice of Pizza sitting on the steps of a church in Rome
a pie at the footy
char-grilled calamari on a beach in Greece
a ploughman's lunch and a pint in an English pub

Maybe a bit, there's often a reason that classic things are classic. They're the sort of things that bring back memories and can make you feel that you are there.

Just thinking about a ploughman's and a pint and I'm back on the South Coast of England in a pub. I can imagine wiping the tomato sauce from a pizza out the the corner of my mouth and leaning forward quickly so it doesn't drip down my shirt.

I think the atmosphere makes the meal. They say Guinness tastes better in Ireland - I'm not sure it really <I>tastes</I> better, but it just <I>seems</I> better when you're in a Dublin pub.

Yes. :p :D Only the toughest can stomach jellied eels and you'd have to be able to handle yourself if you're gonna walk around in a suit covered in pearl buttons.

What about greasy kebab after the pub on a Friday night or a dodgy hotdog from a stall at the football.

I like my memories of food to last a lifetime, not be condensed into a small room on the next morning ;)

I thought those litle roadside things were called "Pissoirs" and I didn't know you could have a crepe in them. ;)
