Is french toast considered FRENCH food?

What you and I call French Toast is not really French - but they have a very similar dish that did originate in France called "Pain Perdu." That translates into "lost bread..." they use stale bread that would have otherwise been tossed out or 'lost' to make the dish.

Traditionally, pain perdu was made by frying in oil - even deep fried if you had the equipment. But they normally just fry it now.

It really is not that different from French Toast. And because it is a simple dish - there are tons of variations on it. Here is just one recipe of thousands: http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/vanilla-pain-pe... You can skip the strawberries and use egg bread (thick cut bread) or regular sandwich bread instead of brioche.

So - mainly it is all in the name - add some vanilla and cinnamon and cream to your egg bath and call your French toast "pain perdu" and you'll have a winner.

unhealthy, no. healthy, no. as long as you dont' buy them from the store, or make them with bisquick, theyr'e just quickbreads. the frenchtoast will have higher cholesterol that a lot of other foods, from the butter in the pan and the milk and eggs in the batter. keep these foods as a special breakfast or treat and you'll be fine. eat them everyday and it's unhealthy, even a few times a week wouldn't do you justice. if you're concerned about unhealthy foods, really get into reading the labels. stay far far away from high fructose corn syrups, avoid fructose and sucrose, you really dont' need anything with partially hydrogenated, or hydrogenated oils. keep the sodium levels low, if it's not salty enough you can add more, but let yourself be the judge, dont' let a mass marketing panel and tasting panel tell you when it's enough salt. good things that are bad for you, are butter and sugar. if you see them on a label, stick with that brand (where others would have hydrogenated oil and high fructose corn syrup) because hey... if it's bad for you...it might as well be natural, that way you're body already knows what to do with it. and remember...if you can't pronounce it: dont' eat it. i'm tired. sorry if anything is disconnected. !Alexiis

According to the International House of Pancakes, French toast is not necessarily French in origin; it is likely that the recipe dates back to medieval times and may have been a logical “invention” by different peoples, akin to battering and frying any food. Supposedly it was originally known in England and America as "German toast", prior to the First World War, when it was changed because of anti-German sentiment.

I may suggest making crepes? They're pretty easy to make, like very thin pancakes. Top that off with some sugar, Nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread), fruits, or some cheese (like brie or camembert).

French toast (eggy bread, gypsy toast in the UK) is a breakfast food in North America, Europe, Bermuda, and a Christmastime dessert in Portugal and Brazil. Typical French toast is made with bread and eggs. Milk or sugar is commonly added. According to what is popular in local cuisine, many of the spices that are added to bread or egg dishes are included in cooking. This versatile dish is often topped with sugar, butter, fruit, syrup, or other items.

Nope, sorry - apparently a version appears in a 4th century Roman cookbook. Also, the french don't call it French toast - they call it "Pain Perdu" (translation: Lost Bread) because it is a way to use bread after it goes stale and is "lost".

Suggestion: How about ratatouille (Ra-Ta-TOO-ee)? YOu might recognize if from the Pixar movie of the same name. It is a french vegetable dish that is from the Provence region (in the south-east of France. Like many dishes from this region, it uses olive oil, and peppers, zucchini, tomatoes and eggplant. It is a hearty "country" dish, traditionally eaten by farmers and peasants. There are many different versions, so there is no right or wrong way to make it, and it is pretty easy. Here is a pretty easy version:http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Ratatouille/Detail.as...
