It wasn't actually made in France. Some think it was discovered in a Italian-Latin recipe book in the 4-5 century: the Apicius, It was simply entitle (translated from Italian) "Another Sweet Dish". In Germany it is called Armer Ritter, which means poor knight. Back in Medieval times the knights didnt have enough money for meat, so they soaked their stale bread in egg and milk and cooked it. In Hungary it is called: Fluffy Bread. In Spain they soak it in wine instead of milk for extra flavor. In Italy they put tomato sauce and cheese. In Belgium they put ice cream on it as a dessert.

its good and easy to make=)

Did the French invented French toast?

Yes, the French did invent French toast they also invented French Fries. Ans. 2 The French might well have invented French Fries had not the Belgians beaten them to it. It is noteworthy that although frites are the most popular way of eating potatoes in France, the French are always willing to give credit to the Belgians for them. On the other hand, the French have no desire to take credit for "French Toast". They did not invent it, or name it, they do not eat it and there is no word for it in French, except possibly 'degeu'. It probably came from the USA, but no-one there wants to take the blame credit for it either.
