On a trip to Germany and France's Alsace region, I tried a local pub food favorite. In Germany, it's called Flammekueche and in France it's called Tarte Flambe. It tasted the same in both countries (I felt an obligation to do the necessary research). Whatever the name, it's basically a pizza crust topped with creme freche, onions and bacon. I've tried to replicate the dish back here in the States with no luck. Evidently, there is something to do with a very hot oven, good beer, and years of experience that makes it better. Maybe that is just as well. It gives me something to remember and long for in future travels.
