I didn't add them because they were never anything I ate much of. I did
have Crepes Suzette a few times and I made them at home but no way could I
eat them now with my egg intolerance. The meal that you listed is just not
something I'd ever eat even if I didn't have food intolerances or diabetes.
Just doesn't appeal.
