[[File:ToradoraCap 517.jpg|frame|link=Toradora!|Whoa... they ''must'' be a couple!<ref>They're not.</ref>]]
Dates and sweets go together. And in anime, at least, the sweet of choice for sweethearts is the crepe: fried dough folded with cream or other fillings in the middle and various toppings, <s> rather like</s> a French pancake. For maximum [[Ship Tease]], they'll take a bite of one another's crepes, thus completing an [[Indirect Kiss]].
Compare to [[Sweetheart Sipping]] for the beverage version of this trope. [[Spaghetti Kiss]] is the common American (and slightly naughtier) variant. [[I Thought It Meant|Despite the fruit's naturally sweet flavor, said crepes rarely use dates as filling.]]
{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Toradora!]]'', pictured above - [[Love Interest|Yuusaku]] takes a bite of [[Tsundere|Taiga's]] crepe, leading her to stuff the whole thing down [[Matchmaker Crush|Ryuuji's]] throat out of [[Indirect Kiss|embarrassment]].
* ''[[Code Geass]]'' - Suzaku and Euphie in episode 5. No shenanigans.
* ''[[
* In the ''Magic Idol Creamy Mami'' series, Yuu's family runs a crepe stand—when her [[Magical Girl]] form is asked her name, the "Creamy" bit is taken off the stand's placard. We see young couples eating there on dates a few times.
* In ''[[Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu]]'', [[Tsundere|Shimada]] demands that [[Idiot Hero|Yoshii]] take her out for crepes, or she'll keep [[Wrestler in All of Us|beating him up]] for calling her [[A-Cup Angst|flat-chested]]. When he later ''does'' take her out, another [[Love Interest]] comes along. They're both about to give him [[Freud Was Right|a taste of their crepes]] when a [[Psycho Lesbian|Psycho]] [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|Schoolgirl Lesbian]] ([[Stalker with a Crush|in love with Shimada]]) shows up and attacks him with ''[[Fork Fencing|throwing forks]]''. [[Hilarity Ensues]].

== Literature ==
* With crepes being widely popular across Europe and somewhat of a national dish for the French and the Dutch, it's no surprise that it turns up in the [[Young Adult]] novel ''Postcards From No Man's Land'' by Aiden Chambers when the young arrival from England, Jacob Todd, goes on a date with with a Dutch girl who introduces him to different flavors and the Dutch word for cinnamon. The scene gets a [[Meaningful Echo]] at the end when all of its subtle innuendo becomes an outright proposition for sex.
== Video Games ==
* ''[[Persona 3]] Portable'' features this at rank 5 of Ryoji's Social Link; he and the female protagonist get green tea crepes and eat by the riverside during the Kyoto field trip.
* ''[[Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke wo]]'': In the 5th game, Mai and Reo get crepes together on a date.
