The crepe originated in Brittany, France. Brittany is an island city. Brittany not only produces delicious seafood because of its geographical location, but also has the most distinctive feature of crepes that are popular at home and abroad! It is said that pancakes are life-saving food for Brittany residents, because Brittany is a stone city with almost no grass growing. One year there was no food on the island, so bretons had to take out the flour collected in the cellar and bake it into thin pancakes to solve the famine that year. Later, this pancake became the local staple food, but now it has become the most representative specialty food in Brittany.

The traditional way to make pancakes in the early days was to bake them on a large disk made of clay with firewood, and then pour batter on the disk to bake them into thin and rich cheese-flavored pancakes. Later, the cooker was improved, using flat tiles made of iron. In modern times, ready-made crepe machines and special crepe powder can be used to make delicious crepes.

Today, Brittany still has traditional customs and celebrations, and the French set February 2 as crepe day. On February 2 every year, during the celebration and parade, people will hold pancakes, sing and dance in the streets, pubs or restaurants, and celebrate the harvest with joy, just like a carnival ceremony, which gives Brittany a strong local color and a little mysterious appearance. This kind of snacks with civilian characteristics can be seen everywhere in the streets of Dinan Town, an antique town in Brittany Province. In addition, at noon, a large group of people flocked to the small space store, and the pancakes smelled like cream.
