While it may not be a traditional crêpe, it's as close to the real deal as a French astronaut can get in space.
Malheureusement pour mes coéquipiers, mes talents culinaires ne sont pas à la hauteur de ma nationalité… Au moins, Shane et Oleg avec qui j’ai déjà vécu étaient prévenus cette fois. Création so 🇫🇷 aujourd’hui : crêpe chocolat🍫-fraises🍓 (comment ça c’est une tortilla ?) #Kenavo pic.twitter.com/KGrUoRiLZ3

Thomas Pesquet, the first French commander of the International Space Station, shared a video on Twitter of his spin on the sweet treat.
"Unfortunately for my teammates, my culinary skills do not match my nationality. At least Shane and Oleg with whom I have already lived were warned this time. Creation so French today: chocolate crepe, strawberries, (how's that a tortilla?)," the translated tweet said.
The 43-year-old first shared the video Monday and as the floating disc of dough made its rounds on social media, comments varied with some hailing the snack as hilarious and original, to others calling it dismal and disappointing.
Although the recipe may not be Le Cordon Bleu-worthy, Pesquet gets serious points for creativity and credit for the first known crepe served in space.
