* No and neither are French Windows, French Polish and French Breakfast radishes.

* Actually it is French. It's referred to as le pain perdu, or "lost bread." Since French bread is typically made fresh and without preservatives, it only stays for a day or two. Pain perdu was a way of salvaging bread that had become too hard or stale to eat normally. * I'm inclined to differ on this one. We English have a tendency to describe things as French this or French that when in reality they are not of French origin. Hence my remark about French Polish in fact it's neither French nor polish but more a varnish of shellac dissolved in alcohol. I agree the French have a dish called pain perdu but the Germans have the same dish which they call Chevalier Pauvre and we have Bread and Butter pudding. We also have French Toast which we may call eggy breads in some circles. We also have French Drains which the Romans were making in England long before France existed as a concept or a country. (To the person who made the second answer, thanks for the other French corrections by the way.)

French toast is called "pain perdu" ("lost bread") in France where it is a very old recipe. Basically it was a way of not throwing away stale bread, by soaking it in a mixture of milk, egg and sugar or honey.

The name French toast was given by the English, who observed and adopted the simple recipe, possibly during the Hundred Year war.

Although some Americans may like it, it existed before America was discovered. It is cited in a French recipe book in the 1300s, and a century later in an English book, but still under its French name.
