Tip: If your French host agrees for you to bring a friend, DO bring a friend. Your French host would be annoyed if you change your mind repeatedly, especially if extra food has already been catered for. 2. No BYO: In France the concept of BYO doesn’t exist (at home, nor in restaurants). For example, unlike in Australia, in France you would NEVER be expected to bring your own meat to a BBQ party. It would actually be considered RUDE to bring food for yourself only and not to share it with the other guests (it would be even more rude for the host to ask you to bring your own steak!). Usually if you are “invited”, it means the host is prepared to cater for everything.

CRÊPES
FILLING
DIRECTIONS In a large bowl, beat together egg, milk, water and oil. Beat in flour, sugar and salt until smooth. Heat a medium, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place a ladleful of crepe batter into center of pan, tilting to coat the bottom. Cook until golden brown on one side, turning once, 2 to 5 minutes. Continue with remaining batter. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate chips, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. To assemble, spread some melted chocolate on the lighter side of one crepe. Place a line of overlapping strawberries down the center of the crepe and roll it up. Top with whipped topping and drizzle with a bit more chocolate. Repeat with remaining crepes. |
