Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Of course she says they are the same as French crepes, but I tell her she only thinks that because she went to finishing school. She's in for a surprise tomorrow when I make shitty flat two-ingredient pancakes for her without bubbles, served with her choice of either lemon and sugar or golden syrup on its own.

The names Granula and Granola were registered trademarks in the late 19th century United States for foods consisting of sweetened whole grain products crumbled and then baked until crisp.

What the fuck. I thought they called it a crunchy-crunchy toodle-oo stick which is a - cough - mouthful so a "crunchy" for short.

We've already got something by that name though, Crunchies are chocolate covered honeycomb bars.

I stand corrected. Terribly sorry. I apologize unreservedly.
