Well in my family which is mix of french and dutch, we always refer to it as "des crepes flambee." Sure you can refer to it as crepes suzettes, but in my opinion crepes flambee sounds a lot cooler and actually informs people as to what it is. In my family we do it differently, for example we add grand marmier and some other alcohols which I don't remember right now which, in your recipe, is absent. The way my dad does it is by putting folding 4 crepes into a cooking pan that has already been heated up and already has caramilized sugar and orange juice. He then adds different liquors, including grand marmier and then lights the thing on fire. He then serves the crepes and pours the sauce over them.Originally Posted by jonciuca
I mean did you actually just post because in my family we refer to it as something else? I have seen many restaurants refer to them as crepes flambee.
I do not enjoy your trolling, your flag states that you are romanian, which I guess means you are more qualified and knowledgeful than me when it comes to french recipes. Your ignorance shows through when you say a dash of cognac, how are you going to "flambee" the crepe if there's only a miniscule amount of liquor. The answer is you are not. Also the alcohol usually used is grand marmier. As for repeating the same thing twice, that was not necessary.
I was quite happy with the responses so far, as they had been constructive and for the most part well spirited. The above posts saddens me as it shows that people are so eager to put people down that will jump on them for referring to something differently. As I said I was born in France, but I moved to the United States when I was seven. This might also explain why my family does things and calls things differently, after all we are a mix of french(my mom), dutch(dad), as well as American(I have lived here for 13 years).

I did not want to upset you and if somebody correct i take the lesson out of it. About the grand marnier you are right and I am old so I do forget things I apologize.The dash of cognac is to make your crepes more enjoyable and give a burnt taste so delectable ,I was referring to your post as somebody who enjoy delicates pleasure as well and I am living in USA for 5 years but is pissing me of when they change the name of the composition of well known dishes,so bare with me and do not hate me.If you do believe I was out of line I apologize and good luck in your search ,be the good food be always there.

You still seem to be trolling and taking you out your anger on me while all you are mad about is that people refer to certain items differently, in this case, a recipe.
As for this thread, it has partially achieved what I wanted it to, to get some responses and thoughts about my thread. If you have any more comments whether be positive or negative, I would appreciate them as long as they are thoughtful and constructive.

As a member of FSC i agree a lot of other sites have a poor community.
Sct admins are kinda rude and it is very hard to keep a good ratio their.
Also i dont remember the last time they did a free leech. They use to do it every year on their birth day. But not this year.
FsC has a lot of free leech lately and give away free leech spots. Not only that they have a Share ratio thingamabob. Where you dont really even need to have a good upload to stay on the site. Tit admins are the same Sct. I think they have some of the same people running it on both sites. They also do not get a long with other tracker communities. They were one of the best then they really screwed up and the site went down hill and eventually died. TL never had free leach and never will. Very hard to keep a good ratio there and even have a wait time when u get started there. Trackers dont understand sharing is caring

No way! The request does not sound like it could be any more genuine! A generic request is "I would like it as I have heard it is really good", where as yours goes into proper detail about it so in my opinion this request is the complete opposite of a generic request.Well I'm honored to have a FSC staff member post in my request thread
