[Frizbe]

I'd call it common old eggy bread, but if ya wanna be posh call it french toast!

[lalaa]

french toast

[colditzmum]

I call it eggy bread. Are you and dh from different areas of the country?

[spacedonkey]

I thought "French Toast" was the american name for eggy bread. Whereas in the UK French Toast is little bits of crispy dehydrated bread that come in packets. I think.

[mears]

That's Melba toast spacedonkey.

French toast I call it

[spacedonkey]

It says French Toast on the packets though.

[colditzmum]

It's against the trade descriptions act to call it French toast unless you've made it in France!

[spacedonkey]

I think it is made in France

[mummytojames]

i'll think i will stick with you frizby if it was ok for my family to call it eggy bread then i will to (plus it will wind him up something stupid to the point where he will sulk for that day and be extra nice to me the next )i have heared it been called french toast before but i thought they add herbs and stuff to it for french toast not just like me who whisks the egg dip in the bread then fry voila eggy bread

[pixiefish]

a variation on the bread theme if you fancy adding a twist to it

[lucy5]

We used to call it Gipsy toast when we were kids, I don't know why. now I call it egg bread.

[BigGayDad]

French toast is eggy bread with tongues.

[mummytojames]

no cold we lived about 2 miles away from each other before we met

[mummytojames]

thanks pixie for that recipe it will make a nice variation to my cheese on toast (being exactly that)

[ThomCat]

I call it eggy bread, that's what it is, eggs dipped in bread and then cooked on the griddle or fried - eggy bread.

[KateandtheGirls]

I always thought that eggy bread was English and french toast was American. Is eggy bread a Northern term? (Parents are from Yorkshire.) Also, french toast in the USA tends to have cinnamon and/or powdered sugar and is served with maple syrup.

AFAIK dried little bits of toast are Melba toast.
In our house bread dipped in egg then fried gets called 'bread-dipped-in-egg-then-fried', because I can't stand the word 'eggy' (shudder!). Totally unreasonable!

[Levanna]

But, then again, entirely accurate so no room for disputes .

[starlover]

we call it eggy bread!

[WigWamBam]

My mum always called it Gypsy toast, I call it eggy bread.

[Ameriscot2005]

French toast, which my family eats with maple syrup (yuk!).

When I was a child, my mum used to make little meat paste sandwiches and make these into French toast. I have been known to serve these to my children.

[flatmouse]

I would call that eggy bread as would my DH - our argument on this is centered around sweet/savoury. I have only ever known eggy bread to be sweet (in fact i think my experience of it is more or less limited to guide camp!). However DH insists it is savoury and would be eaten with liberal amounts of brown sauce.

[Hulababy]

We call it eggy bread, but if being a bit posh then it's French bread.
