Of course she says they are the same as French crepes, but I tell her she only thinks that because she went to finishing school. She's in for a surprise tomorrow when I make shitty flat two-ingredient pancakes for her without bubbles, served with her choice of either lemon and sugar or golden syrup on its own.

    I'm certain crepes were brought to England in the Norman conquest but the English decided there was too much going on there and made pancakes.

        You said I must enjoy the pancakes and swore at me in French, I took that as a you'll adopt the American and English crappy pancake and like it joke. My response was going off thar assumption and I made up a fake history of English pancakes being based on them perverting crepes after they were introduced to britannia during the Norman conquest. I thought we were riffing.

          Oh okay... I guess I was kinda half joking...

          Edit: that being said, confusing Canadian French with Parisian French, is like confusing the Omaha landing as being done by the British...

          That being said, I'm not Franco-Canadian, I'm just playing a character that curses in Quebecois french...
