Here in Quebec, crepes is something you make at home, it's everyday food. The Quebec variety is thinner than pancakes, but not as thin as crepes bretonnes. My kids request crepes for breakfast every weekend. Served with maple syrup, of course.
But they do enjoy pancakes when we go to "the States".
Something else we all love when we go to New England are Fried Clams or Fried Clam Strips. On a picnic table, by the sea, at a clam shack, they taste even better!
I make crepes at home. As do a lot of people.
Creperies exist all over North America. No one here is confusing pancakes with crepes.
My response was in regards to Acajack's remark, which made it sound like well made crepes were rare outside of Quebec. Not true.
I've eaten crepes all over France over many years. I've eaten good ones and not so good.
They are not as common as pancakes in the US I admit, but they are not hard to find.
Just like here in Vancouver....lots of good crepes to be found.

Of course you can get crepes pretty much everywhere, and you can get pancakes in Quebec. But pancakes are more common in the US, crepes are more common here.

Not sure what you disagree with. New England Boiled Dinner is is no way like what Southerners call "Bar-be-Que".
Where I am from, that's an event where people grill hot dogs and hamburgers. A verb, Not a food.
I was disagreeing with the idea that New England isn't known for its food.
The US hasn't strongly exported Southern food out to most countries aside from fried chicken. It has done so with hot dogs and hamburgers. To a lesser degree, the US has also exported some of that delicious, delicious chowder.

"re-exported " Chowder, came to the US from England and France over 250 years ago.
Maybe that is what Acajack meant? Although it was not clear.

Well, you can find any food most anywhere in the world these days. I am sure there is at least one place in Thailand that makes really, really good poutine.
There wouldn't be any point in this thread though if we all replied with "hey there's this awesome place in Moscow that does authentic Texas BBQ" in response to people who say they like to have BBQ in Texas...
Cornbread is something that I like when I am in the U.S., even though if I looked hard enough I guess I could find it here.
Good pancakes seem to be easier to find in the U.S. than in Canada. Though I am sure that there are places in Canada that makes them awesomely.
Crêpes (regardless of their relative thin-ness) seem to be more of a common thing in Quebec than outside of it. This does not mean no one outside of Quebec eats crêpes or even that they are that hard to find.
OTOH, I've noticed that Quebec is almost a marmelade-free zone for some reason. Will this assertion get me into trouble?
Lots of Asian's find U.S. desserts way too sweet for their liking. Do you think Europeans also think U.S. desserts like pie, cakes, cookies are too sweet for them as well?

Indeed.
Interesting to hear what kinds of foods people from other places like in the US, not that those foods "are available at X country"

Well this Australian does, as well as Italian sweets. I like English type sweets like plum pudding, minced tarts and bread and butter pudding. But my husband is on a strict diet prior to our American six week trip because as well as the big breakfasts, he loves the sweet desserts. When he had to provide lunch for our grandson in my absence the other day, of course he took him to Maccas.
