I had to pay a visit to Becks & Posh and stumbled upon the fact that today is Pancake Day. The British call it Shrove Tuesday.
To celebrate, Sam decided to go for Wine Crepes. I have never tried that.
In my early years in Brittany, along with my grandparents, parents and brothers and sisters we paid a weekly visit to the Creperie right around the corner.
We actually ate mostly Galettes de Ble Noir, a larger version of crepes made with a close cousin of buckwheat.
The meal usually started with a plain one dipped in a bowl of lait caille (curdled milk), then un couple (2 galettes with eggs, ham, cheese or a combination of these in between them).
Apple Cider would be the drink of choice.
Since living in the US, I often make Crepes for Breakfast, usually on weekends when the pace is unhurried.
Clotilde of Chocolate and Zucchini gave her take on Galettes de Sarrazin as they are also called back in February 2004.
Funny enough Joel Robuchon uses Lait Caille for La Mandarine, one of the desserts he offers at his Las Vegas outpost.
