Is French toast - French

Answer 1

Technically yes but the term "french Toast" was developed in America

French toast is no more French, than fortune cookies are Chinese.

The recipe dates back to medieval times. The English might have learned it from the French, and called it "french toast", but in France the name is "Pain perdu" (lost bread). Originally it was a dish made by poor people, to eat the stale bread.

Answer 2

The name was not given to the recipe by the French but the actual recipe dates back prior to 16th century in France as it was and still is called "pain perdu" or lost bread. It was a way of using bread that had gone stale and would otherwise perhaps be thrown away. Stale bread, eggs and milk have been put together by the cooks of many countries.

Answer 3

Yes they do, but differently. Everyone has a different variety of how they eat their French toast. French toast originated as a way to use day-old or stale bread (some breads and especially French bread become stale after one day). Whereas a stale, crunchy bread might seem unappetizing, soaking the bread in eggs and frying it solved that problem. The precise origins of the recipe are unknown. Similar dishes have existed in many countries and under many names.

In the 1400s a mention of it is found in an English recipe book, but still under the French name.
