RE: Flourless Flowerful Crepe (or Faux-Crepe) - Wildflowers Galore - 6 weeds with foraging ID quiz
@haphazard-hstead there's a difference between crepe and omelette.
Crepe has flour or anything similar to it not just eggs and I looked up more recipes in the net that would fall as a flour less crepe and they all have milk /coconut milk. IMHO this is an omelette more than a crepe - IMHO the two are not the same. I was about to post the closing to @shady's post but I saw this pop out and I really looked around the net for something that would qualify this so we won't waste your entry but I'll be doing the others who complied to the true sense of "crepe" injustice so am sorry and though I am having a really hard time turning this one down - it's an omelette I will have to not acknowledge it and I hope you understand and that it doesn't discourage you to ever join again. There's a recipe on the net that has eggs, water and butter that would do the trick to make it look like a crepe but this is obviously - an omelette I'd be insulting the French if I acknowledge it. Had you added almond flour or crushed peanut it would have done the trick or crushed leaves of your weed or even those weed flowers.
I'm sorry but we asked for crepe.
Here's a recipe for crepes that just uses eggs and water, too.

Yes I saw that but am sorry to have to still disqualify your entry it still looks like an omelette compared to this - this link you gave me sure looks like a crepe doesn't it - but yours is an omelet. I'm sorry I hope you understand it's not the same.
You provided Pinterest links to use as examples of crepes -- and that includes an egg-only crepe. It's in the lower right of this screen capture:

Please don't turn the tables you're toying with the wrong emotion.
You are just being told what is and what is not - you didn't get flagged nor harassed how is that bullying? Just take things as "you are being told what is and what is not " don't assume nor interpret further. I'm sorry if you feel bullied but I am not bullying you I am just doing my part on this. I hope you understand that.
Like I said I appreciate your enthusiasm and I also acknowledge your creativity but I also have to disqualify an entry no matter how beautiful if its not what we asked for.
You asked "how is that bullying?" Here are the two parts. One, you jumped into another comment thread I had with someone else, saying, "... don't write it like your recipe has not been given a chance" and "We both know this is an omelette". I didn't do the first, and I didn't know the second.
Second, nothing warranted this comment that goes well beyond explaining what a crepe is or is not:
The culinary challenge is a fun part of Steemit. Disqualifications are bound to happen -- I'm sure I'll have more myself. And it may take a couple back-and-forth comments for somebody to understand their disqualification. It did for me, in this challenge. The Paleo challenge did for other folks. I think of the culinary challenges as friendly and welcoming, not a source for bad feelings for anybody.
@haphazard I have been lenient with you time wise and you should also know that there is no question about whether this recipe is creative or beautiful or not. The recipe being disqualified has nothing to do with it being not creative or whatever you must be thinking that you cannot accept it's disqualified.
Unfortunately it is an omelette. It's a contest and we blatantly said crepe - yours look like an omelette - you cooked it like an omelette - you didn't cook it like you should a crepe. The link you just gave me is cooked differently - is it cooked the same way as yours? Do the crepes there look like yours? Yes, the ingredients may be almost the same but they are not either aren't they?
I hope you understand that I'm not running a joke - it's a contest - we asked for crepe you give us crepe. If you feel like you cannot respect that your entry is disqualified and this contest should be ran like that way you want it - please say so I am so willing to step back at hosting it. I'll gladly hand it over to you.
This is a contest and disqualification can happen. I am not disqualifying any entry knowing how hard it is to cook and take pictures at the same time and go through all the writing and posting process just to be disqualified. I'm not that cold hearted bitch host - just to clarify things. I appreciate your enthusiasm in joining but I also have to be true to its essence and if you can't respect that we both have to live with that fact. Your recipe is an egg omelette its' not crepe like sumak is not a lemon.
My entry wasn't meant as a joke, no way. I legitimately thought I was entering a crepe. But just like the Paleo challenge, where my first weed salad didn't qualify because my balsamic vinegar wasn't pure enough, I learned something. That's one of the good things about the Culinary Challenge. So please don't bully me - I didn't do anything to warrant that. On the other hand, my sumac entry was made in a spirit of fun!
Just like I said in a reply to @amy-goodrich yesterday, "I've been on the losing end of the culinary challenge many times already, including being disqualified. But it's a fun part of Steemit. At least I ate well -- and the weeds didn't cost me anything."
And at least I know enough to not use the Steemitculinarychallenge as the first hashtag, so I can drop it off the list, lol! So the only thing connecting this post to the challenge now are all the comments.
