What does CREME mean in Scrabble?
noun
Cream, especially as used in the name of a rich dessert, sauce, or liqueur made with or resembling cream.
Creme is simply the French word for cream, borrowed into English mainly in compound dish and drink names such as creme brulee, creme fraiche, and creme de menthe. English cookery writing often keeps the French spelling to signal that a dish follows a French style or recipe. Written without its accent, creme is treated in English as an ordinary noun rather than a foreign phrase.
