Hello everyone, I hope you enjoy this recipe! If you didn't, don't worry, this will remain an exceptional part of my channel and I will still mainly focus on history/language, at least for the moment. Just want to give a huge shout out to my mom and Grandma for helping my incapable ass. Btw, in France, it's traditional to hold a gold coin in your left hand while flipping the crêpe (properly) with your right hand for good fortune so make sure to give that a try if you can (I've never done it but oh well). Sorry for the pop sounds and weird breathing, I just moved apartment and simply forget to put my 'pop' filter on the mic... Merde to y'all and Bon Appétit!
I'm commenting in hopes that TH-cam's algorithm will notice your channel somehow. Keep it up with those sweet animations. I have been raised with French culture since I was a kid but I didn't know about this crepes on Candlemas thing!
Thank you man! Any interaction helps so I really appreciate it. And whoever raised you owes you some explanations because "La Chandeleur" is one of France's greatest holiday!
This video was phenomenal when it came to humour but I truly lost it when your grandmother took over because you kept flipping crêpes around the stove. RIP your nephew, and a very well deserved congratulations on nearly 500 subscribers. Definitely not enough for a channel that manages to maintain this type of quality (or even half of that) in the editing department.
Thank you man, always great seeing you here! And glad to see someone other than me find my jokes funny. My Grandma is the best so she of course she was going to help out! And thank you man, it's been growing strongly and steadily so hopefully it'll continue. In case, I just enjoy making these and talking with you guys. You definitely deserve much more subs for the research you put on your videos man.
History and food? My two favorite things! I haven't had crepes since I was in elementary school almost 15 years ago. I'm definitely bookmarking this and I wanna make them sometime soon. Also, "I'm a disgrace to my country." Had me dying.
Frankly, anything with food becomes my two favorite things! Haha I hope you give them a try soon then I'm sure you'll love them man. I know they were basically my childhood. Literally lost my French nationality because of that... Thank you for watching. Always happy to see you here and I hope to learn about some Norse mythology soon man.
I got a Greek & Roman mythology video coming up within the next few weeks. After that a Biblical story and down the line a Polynesian story too. I wanna spread by knowledge across a bunch of cultures. I'll definitely go back to the Norse though. Might talk about Ragnarok or Odin next.
@@MythologywithMike Nice! I really look forward to the Biblical one (and the Polynesian, that sounds super interesting) - it's a shame that biblical story aren't used more in medias (without the religious aspect) because they have some pretty cool stories imo Sounds like an awesome schedule man!
I did not expect you to become a cooking channel, but I approve wholeheartedly! You (or your family) have a beautiful looking kitchen. Have you seen how decadent dessert crepes are in Japan? I miss those (but yours looks great too)
Haha I didn't expect to become a cooking channel but this video has been doing so well I might consider it! Yes, I absolutely love our kitchen - absolutely great when it comes to cooking and baking. I've seen some videos on FB but it always seems a bit too much for me, you know? But they are definitely fun to watch.
Thank you man! I always felt that narration/audio was my weak point so glad to see it's getting better. I hope you give these crêpes a try and come out with a new video soon!
@@ThisisBarris Oh I absolutely will, they look like utter crepe ...in a good way. I actually made one yesterday (a video , not a crepe- though I wish i'd done both)
Incredibly entertaining to even watch and listen to your cooking! This would definitely be a fun addition to your already fantastic channel, so I'd love to see more proper French cooking!
Thank you so much man! Made my day to hear that. I will definitely make some more proper French cooking (with my Grandma) in the future. I look forward to your future videos too man.
Love your videos more each time. Your sense of humor really makes your videos stand out and makes them really fun to watch. Congrats on nearing 500 subs, and here's hoping for 500 more! Also these look absolutely delicious, I'm going to have to try to make these (and disappoint the entire country of France in the process).
Thank you man! I'm glad to see others appreciate my sense of humor - always feared a certain language/culture barrier. I hope so too and I hope you join me soon enough man! You should definitely give them a try. Nice, easy and fun to make. And don't worry, their disappointment of me will overshadow yours.
Thank you Andrea! I'm really glad you enoyed it - Indre is a beautiful area; lots of wonderful castles. Have you ever visited? And yes, cooking with my grandma is always a pleasure. Merde!
@@ThisisBarris No I have never been there. We were supposed to go last year as I have an elderly grand aunt who lives in Le Pêchereau and several cousins in the area that we have been hoping to visit but because of Covid we were unable to make the trip sadly so we’re hoping that next year we get a chance to.
Mon chère Baris: Dont tell me you cannot imagine anything greater than yourself. I recall the complexities in your voice as you narrated the story of one Jean Baptist R.......you appreciate the struggle between the ideal and the necessary, A fan, G
Woah want expecting an upload so soon!!! This was a super cool video. Loved how you blended history with an actual how-to! Super entertaining. I may make a video titled " attempting to make crepes like Barris!" And the another one following it titled "Merde!"
Thank you Mooch! I hurried because bringing crêpes to the world is a holy task haha Always great to see you here man. I look forward to seeing you try them out haha Merde!
Another fantastic video Barris, many congratulations on hitting the 500 subs! The Life of Brian style (including the theme tune, so extra points) you took for the history bit fit well for the feel you were going for. Editing worthy of the Pythons themselves. :) Interestingly, us UK folks have a similar holiday in Shrove Tuesday, more commonly known as Pancake Day. Bet you can't guess what we traditionally eat on that holiday...
Thank you very much! It's always great to see you here and I'm glad you enjoyed the Python bit. I'm an absolute fan of their movies. And yes, I heard about Pancake Day. It's not the same holiday though since Candlemas celebrates the day when Jesus was presented to God at the temple. In France, we also celebrate Shrove Tuesday which we call "Mardi Gras" (Fat Tuesday), and as you can imagine, it's just another excuse to stuff ourselves. Thank you! I'm really excited about the 500 subscribers and it's all thanks to awesome viewers like you so I'm really thankful. On my way to watch your vid now.
Fun fact: here in Galicia (northwestern Spain) it is a common joke that the crêpe is actually a bad copy of our filloa (a traditional Carnival food very similar to a crêpe but generally thicker, without butter and in some places with pig's blood) that the French made during the Peninsular War.
I never knew that! That's pretty interesting and now I'm going to fall into a Wikipedia rabbit hole about the Peninsular War. I want to try it now - how does it taste? If we actually stole it from you guys, I'm not surprised we added Butter. We're obsessed with butter (especially in the North) haha Thank you for watching and I hope you give these a try nevertheless. Let me know if you still prefer filloa.
@@ThisisBarris Thanks mate! It's always good to see a history channel that doesn't revolve around military history, Rome or America. How does a filloa taste? I don't know... Like a crêpe (I already tried them when I visited Paris, and still think filloas are superior) but juicier, I really don't know how to explain it. But it is delicious, especially if you add something like chocolate, honey or pork and chickpeas (another thing the Mexicans stole from us: the burrito). Great that I sparked your interest about the War of Independence as we call it! It's a shame that people only think of Russia and Waterloo when they think about Napoleon's demise, the Peninsular campaign was extremely important in the defeat of France, between guerrilla fighters, Spanish regulars and Portuguese and British troops. Keep up the good work!
@@MaylocBrittinorum Thank you, I'm glad you appreciated that too. I feel like we focus too much on battles/war and not on other more significant aspects of history like food, the economy, politics etc. so I hope to talk about that too. Damn, I really want to try it now. And visit that Region of Spain - I was in Andalusia for Christmas and loved it. Considering moving to Spain if I can find "at home" work because it's cheaper than France. Yes, I've been following Spain's War of Independence with Kings and Generals, and Epic History TV and it has been fascinating so far (especially since I didn't know about it beforehand so yeah it is a shame that it's less discusses). Thank you man! It's great viewers like you that motivate me to do so so thank you for that and I hope to see you soon.
Like blinis right? Yes, I think they're very similar. It's always fun to see how many traditions we have in common with other countries. I hope you give them a try some day though.
That's definitely the plan! I have more recipes I hope to do soon but it's not easy to find a proper kitchen to do it in. Thank you for watching! I hope you to come up with a cooking video soon.
""La Chandeleur", l'une de nos meilleurs fêtes" => You're god damn right! I loved this one Baris! A ton of humour and good taste, you actually killed me on some jokes ahahah. Your channel becomes better and better and I'm glad of it. For those who are afraid of beein drunk just eating, most of the alcohol is supposed to evaporate with the cook... in theory! wink wink
Merci mec! I just love La Chandeleur, so French to come up with such a holiday and that's why I love our country. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much! Thank you so much for being such a great viewer and always coming back. It's thanks to people like you that I keep doing my best. The alcohol is just so they become drunk enough to not realize how bad the recipe is haha
Sorry, I forgot to reply. I didn't know the Justinian plague is thought to have been started in Egypt (it's so associated to Constantinople after all). Thank you for the info and for watching. Merde! :)
Hey, thanks for watching! I wasn't sure which song you referenced so here are both. The first one is "Brian" for the "Monty Python's Life of Brian" movie and the one just after is "Carmen Habanera" by Georges Bizet. I hope this helps you out.
Hello Ruth, I think you're referencing to the "Crème de Marrons" right? It's Chestnut Cream. If you're in the US, you can buy the brand I used on Amazon actually: www.amazon.com/Clement-Faugier-Gourmet-Chestnut-Vanilla/dp/B002OGWYHK?th=1 My pleasure! Thank you for subscribing and I hope you have a great time trying them out.
@@heatcat6 No absolutely not, I can't stand Nutella. It's basically a spread that is made with the leftovers of candied chestnuts (or at least, that's how they made it in the past). I love it and I recommend giving it a try. It's not chocolaty at all. My pleasure :)
@@ThisisBarris ok. I'll order and try it. If it's horrible guess who's getting a downvote on Reddit? Just kidding. Keep the videos coming. I'm attempting to learn French. Hopefully I'll learn the "bad" words first. Fingers crossed! Ciao
Hhaha I hope you'll like it, personally I do, but I understand if you don't. Good luck learning French! I know it's not easy. And yes, you definitely have to learn the swearwords if you want to speak French properly. I hope you enjoy my future videos and Merde to you!
Hum didn't think about doing it but that sounds like a pretty neat idea! Now, I'll definitely talk about it when I visit through Paris (this summer hopefully). Thank you for the idea Tarion and thank you for watching.
Man I just love your editing and humour. Brilliant. It must take you so long! Very Python-esque, that must be an inspiration? I'm watching on a different computer today and the sound is a bit hard to hear, sounds very bassy and the music was quite loud. The pancake/crepe halo is genius. You even made me watch something I never ever watch, cookery youtube. I might even try a boozy crepe tonight. However, I'm a much better tosser than you. PS wasn't Lupercalia also the origin of Valentine's?
I was wondering why your logo looked different! Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Always great to see you in the comments man. Yes, Monty Python was definitely the inspiration and it just so happened that I had been on a Python movie binge that weekend haha Quite a few people complained about the sound. I think the fact that music had lyrics made it hard to follow with my narration. Did you give a crêpes a try? And as a Brit, I can't believe you don't follow Gordon Ramsay at least! You can say I'm a tosser when it comes to tossing (ba dum tss). And that's commonly believed because the Lupercalia happened during the same time period (13 to the 15th of February) but apparently, there's no proof for that.
Beware of fanatical Christians my friend, they could burn you for blasphemy. Haha I really enjoyed this. I saw in comments that you were inspired by Monthy Python. It's a really great source of inspiration and influence, indeed. It's a big deal to borrow some good stuff from immortal classic for creating something new and fresh. Great work my friend, keep it up. One more remark. I listened to this from a crappy laptop with no low frequencies, and music seemed a bit loud to me from time time.
Hahah I hope they realize it's just some friendly banter plus, tbh, I did a lot of biblical research for this episode! Yes, I'm a big fan of the Monty Python movies (Life of Brian and the Holy Grail, especially) so yeah, I just love doing my own version of this. Are you a fan too? I'm glad you enjoyed it so much man. The sound was hard for this episode (especially since music with lyrics is pretty distracting) so I will have to keep working on it. But I think I have to accept that it's never going to be perfect for everybody either. Congrats on passing 2,500 subscribers man! I saw another video of yours went viral too so that's awesome man. I saw you were also working on your next video, let me know if you need any help/voicing. I would love to help out my friend.
@@ThisisBarris Yeah, Monthy Python is perfect. Philosophical football is my favorite short. And The Holy Grail is simply classic. I love them. And of course. There will be Jeremus in the next episode. So, my friend, I will need your help again! I will mail you when all the necessary footage will be complete. Congratulations on your upcoming 500 subscribers!
@@MercenaryCamp I'm glad you appreciate Monty Python too. TBH I prefer their movies to their skit, probably because the jokes are less long in the movies (they tend to drag on in their skits) but I 100% agree - Holy Grail is incredible. Looking forward to voicing Jeremus again! I've been focusing on becoming more and more pathetic as to better act him haha just email me whenever it's ready. Thank you! It's largely thanks to you man.
IKR?! He was the man with a plan - he was clever and all. I really want the smart guy to win for once. I was so upset *spoiler* by his death that I actually wrote a book where the smart man wins. My long-term goal is to get it on HBO so Littlefinger finally gets the justice he deserved.
« À la Chandeleur, l’hiver passe ou prend vigueur. » “On Candlemas, winter passes or gets vigorous.” That Chandeleur proverb is the origin of the Groundhog Day meteorological superstition. Personally: the BEST topping for crêpes is maple syrup! 🍁❤️ My Québécoise mother and my Irish grandmother put drops of rum in my eggnog... that would explain a lot. 🤪
Really? I didn't know! Pretty awesome fact. I guess they were linked after all. And I would love to eat crêpes with mapple syrup but I fear it's too liquid. Pancakes tend to absorb the syrup, but not crêpes.
There is no such thing as too liquid! If there’s too much syrup left over just ask for another crêpe... and another... and another... 😜🍁😋🇨🇦 My mother used buckwheat (sarrasin) for crêpes too.
South Park definitely was an inspiration haha I guess I'm playing the French-Canadian part? Thank you for watching! I hope to see you in the comments again.
For Pancake Tuesday right? A lot of people told me you guys did it too. I didn't know so it was nice to learn about it. Just answered your email. Sorry for the delay, been very busy between youtube and uni work. Thanks for watching Gus and take care.
It's not really that common (at least not in the batter) but we do put it in the family recipe and frankly, they're better because of it. I hope you give it a try Tito!
Thank you Jakse! I enjoy being cheeky, and try my best to, so I'm glad it's working. You do some great work too so I don't think you have much to fear haha
If it did, I think you would enjoy the Monty Python movies (in case you don't know them). The intro of "Life of Brian" inspired the style of the historical part of this video a lot.
I'm happy to hear him! TBH, after watching a few of his videos, I've concluded that it's DiCaprio that looks like a dollar store version of Gus. And I feel ya. I always edit my comments 20 times for mistakes. I hope you enjoy my future videos and Merde!
@@noahheniusodgaard752 Yes! Do you come from his video or coincidence? He's a good friend of mine so I just wanted to help out and it was a lot of fun.
Hahaha not with this batter! That's why it's so great - you can just make it when you wake up and have crêpes for breakfast hehe I hope you give it a try for La Chandeleur!
First I want to say an early congrats on your 500 subs since its probably going to happen today easily. Secondly I wanted to say I think you are spending too much time with us Canadians. I am hearing our accent in you now. I mean there's worse things than having a Canadian in you. and Thirdly great video once again. I never knew I needed history about Crepes haha
Thank you man. It's all thanks to friends like you so I owe it all to you guys. Am I getting the Canadian accent? Oh god... I guess I'll just add it to my English, American and French accent. Eventually my accent will be its own entity. Thank you! You guys should give it a try and make some crêpes this weekend! They are awesome.
We now live in a different world, in comparison to when you made this! But this could still be considered Therapy for our Wretched and Tarnished Souls! Good sir are you still alive?! 🙏🏿😰😬
Ugh, je sais. Honteux. Mais je crois qu'il serait fière du volume d'alcool que j'ai mis dans la pâte. Toujours content de voir des francophones dans les commentaires. J'espère que tu apprècies mes autres vidéos aussi. Merde!

Feilloas are nice, but the real deal is the Asturian frixuelo
Filloas are regularly more floury and less sweeter than crepes (or at least the ones that i tried lol)
They are like easter European pancakes
Like blinis right? Yes, I think they're very similar. It's always fun to see how many traditions we have in common with other countries. I hope you give them a try some day though.
Im Romanian, and we call them "Clătite"
"Blin" is the Russian word.
Dude, you should totally tranform into a history + cooking channel.
That's definitely the plan! I have more recipes I hope to do soon but it's not easy to find a proper kitchen to do it in. Thank you for watching! I hope you to come up with a cooking video soon.

I loved this one Baris! A ton of humour and good taste, you actually killed me on some jokes ahahah. Your channel becomes better and better and I'm glad of it.
For those who are afraid of beein drunk just eating, most of the alcohol is supposed to evaporate with the cook... in theory! wink wink
Merci mec! I just love La Chandeleur, so French to come up with such a holiday and that's why I love our country.
I'm glad you enjoyed it so much! Thank you so much for being such a great viewer and always coming back. It's thanks to people like you that I keep doing my best.
The alcohol is just so they become drunk enough to not realize how bad the recipe is haha

The Plague of Justinian is thought to have started in Egypt.
Thanks for the heart, btw !
Sorry, I forgot to reply. I didn't know the Justinian plague is thought to have been started in Egypt (it's so associated to Constantinople after all). Thank you for the info and for watching. Merde! :)
@@ThisisBarris You're welcome ! Thanks for making all those videos ! Almost finished watching them all !
Thank you for watching them all! It means a lot to me and it helps a lot the channel.
How To Basic has a French accent now?
OOF
"Comment Basic?" is my new show. Working on the script of our collab now btw!
This is Barris! - French History Nice! I’m working on another video right now, but I should have the script for our collab done in about a week!
@@HistoryHouseProductions Awesome! Looking forward to your next video.
COOL

AWESOME! THANK YOU FOR BEING MY 680TH SUBSCRIBER! I HOPE YOU'LL ENJOY MY VIDEOS AND MERDE TO YOU!
Great video
Thank you man! Not as great as yours ;)
Music at 2:45?
Hey, thanks for watching! I wasn't sure which song you referenced so here are both. The first one is "Brian" for the "Monty Python's Life of Brian" movie and the one just after is "Carmen Habanera" by Georges Bizet.
I hope this helps you out.
Love the life of brian intro song
Thank you Emile! I love Monty Python. Merde!
This is Barris! Merci beaucoup
What is in the can again?
Also, thank you for the brilliant recipe!
Hello Ruth,
I think you're referencing to the "Crème de Marrons" right? It's Chestnut Cream. If you're in the US, you can buy the brand I used on Amazon actually: www.amazon.com/Clement-Faugier-Gourmet-Chestnut-Vanilla/dp/B002OGWYHK?th=1
My pleasure! Thank you for subscribing and I hope you have a great time trying them out.
I looked it up, is it Nutella?
If so, blarf.
Thank you dear.
@@heatcat6 No absolutely not, I can't stand Nutella. It's basically a spread that is made with the leftovers of candied chestnuts (or at least, that's how they made it in the past). I love it and I recommend giving it a try. It's not chocolaty at all.
My pleasure :)
@@ThisisBarris ok. I'll order and try it. If it's horrible guess who's getting a downvote on Reddit?
Just kidding. Keep the videos coming. I'm attempting to learn French. Hopefully I'll learn the "bad" words first. Fingers crossed!
Ciao
Hhaha I hope you'll like it, personally I do, but I understand if you don't. Good luck learning French! I know it's not easy. And yes, you definitely have to learn the swearwords if you want to speak French properly.
I hope you enjoy my future videos and Merde to you!
Are you going to do The hunchback of Notre dame video?
Hum didn't think about doing it but that sounds like a pretty neat idea! Now, I'll definitely talk about it when I visit through Paris (this summer hopefully). Thank you for the idea Tarion and thank you for watching.
Yay
Glad to see you here Michael! I hope you give these a try man.
@@ThisisBarris yea it looks good😋
Funny mate, subbed :)
Thank you for subscribing! It means a lot to me. I hope you enjoy my future videos, too.
Merde to you!
Man I just love your editing and humour. Brilliant. It must take you so long! Very Python-esque, that must be an inspiration? I'm watching on a different computer today and the sound is a bit hard to hear, sounds very bassy and the music was quite loud. The pancake/crepe halo is genius. You even made me watch something I never ever watch, cookery youtube. I might even try a boozy crepe tonight. However, I'm a much better tosser than you. PS wasn't Lupercalia also the origin of Valentine's?
It seems it was not.
I was logged in with the wrong account again. And sound is fine on my usual computer set up.
I was wondering why your logo looked different! Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Always great to see you in the comments man. Yes, Monty Python was definitely the inspiration and it just so happened that I had been on a Python movie binge that weekend haha
Quite a few people complained about the sound. I think the fact that music had lyrics made it hard to follow with my narration. Did you give a crêpes a try? And as a Brit, I can't believe you don't follow Gordon Ramsay at least!
You can say I'm a tosser when it comes to tossing (ba dum tss). And that's commonly believed because the Lupercalia happened during the same time period (13 to the 15th of February) but apparently, there's no proof for that.
Beware of fanatical Christians my friend, they could burn you for blasphemy. Haha
I really enjoyed this. I saw in comments that you were inspired by Monthy Python. It's a really great source of inspiration and influence, indeed. It's a big deal to borrow some good stuff from immortal classic for creating something new and fresh. Great work my friend, keep it up.
One more remark. I listened to this from a crappy laptop with no low frequencies, and music seemed a bit loud to me from time time.
Hahah I hope they realize it's just some friendly banter plus, tbh, I did a lot of biblical research for this episode!
Yes, I'm a big fan of the Monty Python movies (Life of Brian and the Holy Grail, especially) so yeah, I just love doing my own version of this. Are you a fan too? I'm glad you enjoyed it so much man.
The sound was hard for this episode (especially since music with lyrics is pretty distracting) so I will have to keep working on it. But I think I have to accept that it's never going to be perfect for everybody either.
Congrats on passing 2,500 subscribers man! I saw another video of yours went viral too so that's awesome man. I saw you were also working on your next video, let me know if you need any help/voicing. I would love to help out my friend.
@@ThisisBarris Yeah, Monthy Python is perfect. Philosophical football is my favorite short. And The Holy Grail is simply classic. I love them.
And of course. There will be Jeremus in the next episode. So, my friend, I will need your help again! I will mail you when all the necessary footage will be complete.
Congratulations on your upcoming 500 subscribers!
@@MercenaryCamp I'm glad you appreciate Monty Python too. TBH I prefer their movies to their skit, probably because the jokes are less long in the movies (they tend to drag on in their skits) but I 100% agree - Holy Grail is incredible.
Looking forward to voicing Jeremus again! I've been focusing on becoming more and more pathetic as to better act him haha just email me whenever it's ready.
Thank you! It's largely thanks to you man.
You make my day, funny and well ilustrated vid! But sorry, I can't continue to comment, I have crêpes on fire, greetings from France ...🍺
Thank you Phil! Always great to see a fellow Frenchman here, it's like my French seal of approval haha don't let the crêpes dry out!
@@ThisisBarris Almost digested already ...
@@philRminiatures Lucky. I hope they were good!
1:34 But you see, Littlefinger *should* have won
IKR?! He was the man with a plan - he was clever and all. I really want the smart guy to win for once. I was so upset *spoiler* by his death that I actually wrote a book where the smart man wins. My long-term goal is to get it on HBO so Littlefinger finally gets the justice he deserved.
@@ThisisBarris That is a noble and beautiful endeavor. You're doing God's work my friend
I try to stay humble, but yes, you're absolutely right.
Do you know any alternatives to alcohol in the recipe?
The alchol is merely for flavouring and not necessary at all :) Still very good without it. Enjoy and merde!
« À la Chandeleur, l’hiver passe ou prend vigueur. »
“On Candlemas, winter passes or gets vigorous.” That Chandeleur proverb is the origin of the Groundhog Day meteorological superstition.
Personally: the BEST topping for crêpes is maple syrup! 🍁❤️
My Québécoise mother and my Irish grandmother put drops of rum in my eggnog... that would explain a lot. 🤪
Really? I didn't know! Pretty awesome fact. I guess they were linked after all.
And I would love to eat crêpes with mapple syrup but I fear it's too liquid. Pancakes tend to absorb the syrup, but not crêpes.
There is no such thing as too liquid!
If there’s too much syrup left over just ask for another crêpe... and another... and another... 😜🍁😋🇨🇦
My mother used buckwheat (sarrasin) for crêpes too.
I like the way you think! And yes, we use buckwheat for salty crêpes but I prefer the sugary ones 👏
South park surely got a new style... But the canadians never change....
South Park definitely was an inspiration haha I guess I'm playing the French-Canadian part? Thank you for watching! I hope to see you in the comments again.
@@ThisisBarris Cheers buddy
Ton anglais est génial !
Merci beaucoup! Il y a beaucoup d'anglais près de ma ville natale donc j'ai eu la chance d'aller à une école anglaise.
My girlfriend does those but she calls them pancakes! ps: I e-mailed you.
For Pancake Tuesday right? A lot of people told me you guys did it too. I didn't know so it was nice to learn about it.
Just answered your email. Sorry for the delay, been very busy between youtube and uni work. Thanks for watching Gus and take care.
Is alcohol really included in crepes ingredient? Unheard of.
It's not really that common (at least not in the batter) but we do put it in the family recipe and frankly, they're better because of it. I hope you give it a try Tito!
I'm very not mad at your food playlist name being Bone Apple Tea.
Haha I thought it was a perfectly ironic name
Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoy my future videos, too.
This one is cheeky and I like it. Nice edits. Great video, but stop showing up all of us other history channels this much!
Thank you Jakse! I enjoy being cheeky, and try my best to, so I'm glad it's working. You do some great work too so I don't think you have much to fear haha
@@ThisisBarris Thank you for the kind words! But yeah, the humor really, really landed for me.
If it did, I think you would enjoy the Monty Python movies (in case you don't know them). The intro of "Life of Brian" inspired the style of the historical part of this video a lot.
I remember last time you made crepes with caramel
Yes, and as usual you were eating while I did all the work haha
Nutella, of you don't care about Tropical Forests....that alone just earned you a subscriber. Save Palm Oil/Orangutans
I forgot that I made that comment, but yes, no Nutella! Save the Orangutans. Thanks for watching Evy and merde!
i thought everyone had a crepe pan
Out of France, I don't know tbh but I think everyone should!
I came here because of banger of a comment about Gus Johnson looking like a dollar store DiCaprio
I don’t think I’ve ever made a TH-cam comment without making an Typo
I'm happy to hear him! TBH, after watching a few of his videos, I've concluded that it's DiCaprio that looks like a dollar store version of Gus.
And I feel ya. I always edit my comments 20 times for mistakes. I hope you enjoy my future videos and Merde!
How to make pancakes with alchohol
At a certain point, it was more how to make alcohol with pancakes. Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoyed it.
This is Barris! - French History i did
This is Barris! - French History are you the Voice of jeremus, (mercenary Camp)
@@noahheniusodgaard752 Yes! Do you come from his video or coincidence? He's a good friend of mine so I just wanted to help out and it was a lot of fun.
This is Barris! - French History i am jeremus
WAIT WE NEED TO LET THE DOUGH REST
Hahaha not with this batter! That's why it's so great - you can just make it when you wake up and have crêpes for breakfast hehe
I hope you give it a try for La Chandeleur!
First I want to say an early congrats on your 500 subs since its probably going to happen today easily.
Secondly I wanted to say I think you are spending too much time with us Canadians. I am hearing our accent in you now. I mean there's worse things than having a Canadian in you.
and Thirdly great video once again. I never knew I needed history about Crepes haha
Thank you man. It's all thanks to friends like you so I owe it all to you guys.
Am I getting the Canadian accent? Oh god... I guess I'll just add it to my English, American and French accent. Eventually my accent will be its own entity.
Thank you! You guys should give it a try and make some crêpes this weekend! They are awesome.
We now live in a different world, in comparison to when you made this!
But this could still be considered Therapy for our Wretched and Tarnished Souls!
Good sir are you still alive?! 🙏🏿😰😬
i know you skipped to the cooking part
Haha probably. The history is interesting too though but it's hard to top crêpes. Thank you for watching Peter and I hope you give these a try!
Raymond Olivier n'est pas d'accord avec le manque pastis et de bière dans votre pâte
Ugh, je sais. Honteux. Mais je crois qu'il serait fière du volume d'alcool que j'ai mis dans la pâte.
Toujours content de voir des francophones dans les commentaires. J'espère que tu apprècies mes autres vidéos aussi. Merde!
It is even better when you are a devout Christian.
I'm concerned. Is the guy's eye okay?
He got poked a lot.
I was kinda expecting a joke at 4:02. Kinda disappointed :'3
Hahah I didn't even think about it but yeah, missed an opportunity there... Thank you for watching Ray!

Faire une video sur les crêpes sans parler de la Bretagne, franchement ..
Pardon, je suis un sale sudiste :(
Not sure if blasphemy is worth a thin pancake. But, please let us know after disembarking the Southbound Train.
So crêpes are italian? Sorry i meant CRESPELLE
0/10, the crepes tried to kill me because I'm British
Ah damn, forgot to mention that pesky side effect!
Curep
Creepies... They're scary!
