 Where does the word crêpe come from?
Crepe paper, crepey skin,  silk crepe, and French crêpes! All four of these things describe something
thin with a wrinkled or crinkly surface.
The term crêpe, in both English and French, can trace its roots back to old french “crespe,” meaning
crispy or wavy and derive from the Latin “crispa,” meaning “curly.”
True to its name, crepes have crispy edges that sometimes curl up with a crepey textured surface.
Why is there an accent above the letter “ê” in the word crêpe?
The correct way to write the word crepe in French is crêpe.
The little pointy hat above the letter “ê” is called a circumflex, and it tells you two things.

1. How to pronounce the “e,” and

2. It indicates the historical presence of a letter, often the letter “s,” that is no longer
pronounced because it was deleted over the course of the evolution of a language.
3. In English, it’s perfectly fine to say crepe with the long “a” sound like in the word “APE”;
however, in French, “crêpe” is pronounced “K-R-E-P” (rhymes with YEP). 
4. Without the circumflex above the letter “e,” it would be pronounced completely different in
French.
 History of the Quiche
Contrary to popular belief the Quiche actually originates in Lothringen a medieval
kingdom under German rule. 
The name ‘quiche’ is also from German origin word ‘Kuchen’ which means cake. The
French later enhanced the dish and renamed the dish, Lorraine. 
The original recipe for the Lorraine consisted of an open pie with a filling comprised of
egg, cream custard, and bacon. It was only later that cheese was added to the quiche
Lorraine. 
Versions of the quiche now exist with vegetables and fusion recipes have allowed for any
fillings from smoked salmon to ground beef. 
Originally made from bread dough, it has since evolved into a short-crust or puff pastry
crust.
Since its time in France, the authentic version of the quiche has evolved to please many
different tastes throughout the world. I think it is safe to say France enhanced the dish
with its robust flavors and fresh ingredients from its bland original version. 
The quiche actually gained popularity in England in the years following WWII after
British troops traveled back to their homes and shared the newly found delicious French
recipe.
