Crepes
Every country has their own version of a 'pancake' and 'doughnut.' Crepes are like thin pancakes, very close to German pancakes, they are usually made on a very large, round griddle, but can be made any size, has long as they are thin.  They are endlessly versatile, with scrambled eggs, nutella, bananas, spinach, ham, maple syrup, gravy, or whatever else you can possibly think of.
