Hmm, Stuffed Crepe Zuppa
Cannelloni are sometimes made with crepes... served in broth this is
likely some regional Italian dish. Balducci's (now defunct) used to
sell a very similar dish mail order ("Veal Cannelloni"),crepes stuffed
with veal and cheese, in a veal stock... arrived frozen in two separate
containers... was part of a gift basket that I remember well, was
awful. It's no wonder Balducci's didn't survive the dot.com wars,
their products had great presentation but tasted terrible and were
outrageously priced.
