How old are crepes?

Answer 1

The history of crepes begins with the pancake, which first appeared as a flat, unleavened bread as early as prehistoric times. Anthropologists believe that the round shape was no accident. The circular pancake may have been in reverence to the sun, which was worshipped by ancient civilizations. Starting in the 15th century, the pancake or crepe began popping up in Europe, where it assumed many different names and traditions.

In France the pancake is known as a crêpe, spelled with a character known as the circumflex or ˆ over the first "e." The word comes from the Latin term crispus, which explains the flat, almost crisp texture. The crepe originated in Brittany, in the northwest corner of France, where they still make sweet crepes or galettes, which are filled with meats and cheeses. In medieval times, peasants presented crepes to their feudal lords as a demonstration of loyalty. In the Breton town of Quimper they actually have a museum celebrating the history of crepes. It's located (where else?) in Place au Beurre or Butter Square!
