Episode 31: WWJCD? (What Would Julia Child Do?)

Marché in downtown Lewiston advertises that they make their crepes using Julia Child's recipe. I can believe it. The results are fluffy and taste as if they would go equally well with sweet or savory fillings. Quite different from the no less delicious, buckwheat-based, Franco-American versions one can find at various greasy spoons in L-A.

Would Julia Child have filled them with "house made duck confit, mission fig jam, bleu cheese, truffle" (and also some unlisted arugula)? She might have left out the fig jam, which melted and puddled out when exposed to the heat of the crepes and the duck. She likely would have served the arugula as a lightly dressed salad on the side, rather than letting it wilt a bit in the filling. Otherwise, all seemed as ineffably delicious as she would have liked.

But would Julia Child have eaten it? Yes, I'm pretty sure she would have.
