Yes I remember making it in Domestic Science class at school,in the 50s. I used to love the whisking, and in first year, often called in to help a friend in a senior class who was there. Come to think of it, it must have been the lunch time that I went in there. Our memories can get muddled sometimes :?
The little cafe at Hayle's open air swimming pool did 'crepes' with the usual variety of toppings/fillings last summer, and sitting in the sun with good coffee and crepes took me back to good times in Brittany. I don't know if the same (french) people will be running it THIS summer.

I have often wondered why there are no Breton Crêpe places in Kernow...what is your email Fulub?
Here's another problem - there's nothing Cornish about any of the end products listed in Mr Alan (Stroppygoth) Thomas' regurgitated BBC blurb, except, perhaps, some of the primary ingredients.
I anticipate that once the sun goes down here in Kernow, and Mr Alan (Stroppygoth) Thomas raises himself from the depths of his gothic fantasy coffin, after having first revived his pale vampire-like complexion with lashings of UK government and BBC guff, he will deliver an authorative lecture about Cornish cuisine. Be warned!
I don’t know of any restaurants that serve only Cornish traditional food but most would serve a fair portion of the menu as what they deem to be Cornish, certainly using Cornish produce. Pasties, saffron cake and buns, hog’s pudding and heavy cake are traditional but not really restaurant food – café/bakery yes.
Many recipes for seafood are described as Cornish, particularly when saffron is used. Some of my favourites using saffron are seared scallops and monkfish. I particularly go for seafood and actually would be attracted to it being cooked Mediterranean style and would be satisfied by it being produce of Cornwall. Lobster in its many guises, crab soup, Newlyn turbot, hake, bass are other recommendations. Next door in Mousehole for stargazey pie.
Virtually all the good seafood restaurants are to my liking and I particularly like those of Falmouth, Bistro de la Mer springing to mind. The better Falmouth hotels also have good seafood chefs – St Michaels, Falmouth Beach Resort, Greenbank, Royal Duchy and Falmouth Hotel.
Rather than traditional, there is a great increase in nouveau (noweth) Cornish food – cheese, wine, etc. Issue 47 of Cornish World features a lot on Cornish food and produce.
So, in these restaurants, the use of Cornish products isn't good enough? Does every resaurant in Cornwall have to offer only "Cornish" dishes? How long do you think it would be before they all went out of business? Do the Cornish never eat curry, chinese food, pizza, Thai, pie and chips, ploughmans, baked beans, roast beef? Do they live entirely on pastys and starrygazey pies?
You really don't think your comments through before posting, do you?
Nouveau cuisine is great. I really enjoy it. It is fun and creative. But so many places incorporate that into their menus already.
I do think there is a definate market for a Cornish Food only restaurant.
I reckon the emmets (myself amongst them) would pay the asking price even if it was "above the usual" price. Add in Cornish produce as well and you are onto a nice earner.
I go to such restaurants for the experience and I do not mind paying a hefty whack if necessary.
I thought nothing of forking out 50 quid for the Elvers entree. (I will never do it again, but I have had it now. )
