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 (Light Novel)|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]].▼
 
▲* ''[[Toradora (Light Novel)|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.
* ''[[ToA AruCertain Kagaku no Railgun (Manga)|To Aru Kagaku noScientific Railgun]]'' - as part of the [[Running Gag]] of trying to get intimate with the title character, [[Shock and Awe|Misaka Mikoto]], [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|Kuroko]] always buys the same flavor of crepe as Mikoto - and is horrified when Mikoto only exchanges bites with peoplesomebody who getgot a ''different'' flavor.
* In the ''Magic Idol Creamy Mami'' series, Yuu's family runs a crepe stand -- whenstand—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 Toto 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 Withwith a Crush|in love with Shimada]]) shows up and attacks him with ''[[Fork Fencing|throwing forks]]''. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
** In season 2 episode 2, all the girls do variations on this at the festival, including the main character's [[Brother-Sister Incest|older sister]].
* This is done in ''[[Akai Ito]]'' with [[Main Character|Kei]] and [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo|Uzuki]].
* In ''[[X 1999]]'', Seishirou invites Fuuma to go get crepes with him (having just finished blowing up a major train line and a large skyscraper). His reasoning is that if they are going to destroy all of Tokyo, then they might as well get to sample delicious foods first. It's very romantic, in a creepy way.
* Even if it never happens in the series itself, this is done in the cover of volume 12 DVD of ''[[Yes! Pretty Cure 5]] GoGo'', with Syrup and Urara. [http://pics.livejournal.com/stupendous/pic/0007y06e It's ADORABLE.]{{Dead link}}
* Episode 3 of ''[[All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku (Anime)|Nuku Nuku Dash]]'' has an example.
* ''[[Amagami SS]]'' episode 11, at the amusement park.
* In ''[[Dog Days]]'', [[Edible Theme Naming|Éclair]] and Cinque have crepes at the fair in episode 11. No particular shenanigans, but they do call the crepes by a made-up foreign name.
* In ''[[Clannad (Visualvisual Novelnovel)|Clannad]]'', when Tomoya Okazaki pretends to date his friend's younger sister, Mei Sunohara, he buys her a crepe.
* In the anime version of ''[[The Idolmaster (Animeanime)|THE iDOLM@STER]]'', Makoto and the Producer during their outing in an amusement park.
 
== 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 Nini Kuchizuke Wowo]]'': In the 5th game, Mai and Reo get crepes together on a date.
