[Sca-cooks] Food rolls and wraps

[Finne Boonen]

something that we call durum here (Belgium), a lebanese flat bread,
wich resembles a huge pancake in appearance, filled with meat and
veggies, and slightly toasted. (fancy

version: http://blogsimages.skynet.be/images/000/136/329_durum-hum.jpg)

French (or rather Breton?) pancakes, filled with all kinds of food
(cheese,veggies,meat or fruit and other sweet condiments). In France
they get served at roadsidestalls in a folded version rather then
rolled (http://www.cassia.be/gallery/v/Misc/food/?g2_page=3 for
pictural explanation)
