A little Buckwheat introspection: It originated in Central and Western China. The weird thing about it is that it's not a grass like all of the other grains; it's an annual. But the best thing about buckwheat is the pillow made out of buckwheat hull that they used to sell on late night TV; it's an awsome pillow if you're extremely tired, but otherwise it sucks. francis

the brittany angle is so interesting, I love those bowls of hard cider and oysters

Thanks so much for all your comments. I had no idea there was such a great community on this board. Ludja - the traditional brittany crepe that you spoke of around a sausage reminded me of the funny magic pan crepe around a hot dog that i had when I was young. The baking of the crepe after it's made also seems very interesting. I'm also intrigued by the idea of a tutorial on the subject. It's so fun to watch and everyone has ideas about it that are fun to talk about, and some people have the knack and can rally put on a show with it. Francis
