The recipe for French toast
History of French toast
The origin of French toast dates back to the 1st century BC under the Roman Empire.
The recipe is not called French toast but it is the use of the same ingredients.
The name "lost bread" dates from the 15th century but remains a donut of bread.
The sweet accompaniment appears in the 17th century.
The use of stale bread made it a poor man's dish which nevertheless made its way to the table of King Henry IV. Legend has it that the King was very fond of French toast.
The famous French toast is exported to the world in particular to Great Britain under the name of French Bread. Not a tribute to the origin of the recipe but in Old Irish "French" means "sliced".
