You know why Pennsylvania has more lawyers than any other state and New Jersey has more toxic waste sites, doncha?

New Jersey got first choice.

Ba-dum-dum-crash.

Ya know, I went to the Festival of Nations in St. Louis yesterday, which featured food, crafts and performances from various cultures and nationalities.

You know what they were selling at the French food booth? Crepes...only crepes. Are you fucking serious? Crepes that I could get at IHOP for $4...wow...fucking Frenchie bastards!

Urbane Guerrilla · 08-27-2007, 10:34 PM

If they were making crepes, they coulda turned the pans over and made omelettes too.

Some business models are grossly incomplete...

elSicomoro · 08-27-2007, 10:37 PM

I don't know what they were thinking...we had Bosnian food, Eritrean food, Brazilian food...stuff I've never even heard of before. And there were the French selling crepes...even the Mexicans were inventive.

The French totally have this stuff figured out ... Have you ever made crepes yourself? Crepes are pretty much pure profit, once you've paid for the crepe pan (which is a very specific piece of equipment. You can't make anything else in a crepe pan, or you screw it up). They use like ten cents worth of batter, probably less, come to think of it.

Crepes by creeps ...

Shawnee123 · 08-28-2007, 07:29 AM

Yeah, beware of creeps bearing crepes!

I always enjoyed the IHOP version of the crepe---stuffed with ThankYou brand pie cherries and smothered in whipped cream or powdered sugar.

The only good thing about crepes is what they can hold... think limp ice cream cone.

One of the best, best moments of my Paris trip...

Was buying a piping hot honey crepe about 2 blocks down the street from Notre Dame, in the freezing cold (in fact I think that was the day it hailed, the day before or after the day it snowed), and just feeling the honey just, warm me up... then drinking the excess runoff honey from the little plastic napkin/pouch thing.
Soooo good.

I must admit, when I bought crepes outdoors in France they tasted waaaay better than any crepes I've bought on my home turf.

xoxoxoBruce · 08-28-2007, 03:03 PM

That's because they put drugs in the ones they sell to tourists.

DanaC · 08-28-2007, 03:10 PM

Ahhh....that'll be it.

elSicomoro · 08-28-2007, 04:06 PM

Wait...why would they put drugs in the crepes they sell to tourists? Wouldn't they want to poison tourists with crappy crepes?
