French toast or eggy bread: What do you call it?

Also, where are you from?

It's French toast for me. I'm from Glasgow.

French toast for me, mum made fab French toast mine isn’t quite as good but the kids like it.

Eggy Bread. I’m from Yorkshire.

My mum wasn’t a good cook but she used to make the most gorgeous fluffy, delicious, golden eggy bread.

My mum died and I left home in the late 80’s and soon after had ‘French Toast’ in a restaurant - it was hard and flat and unevenly cooked. I was horrified. It took me a long while to work out that my mum deep fried her eggy bread.

I’m 50 and I’ve never seen anyone else do that and I’ve never made it myself, but I want to now!

This.

My Granny used to call it Gypsy Toast. Essex.
Where I live now it's Eggy Bread. Yorkshire.
I don't like it whatever it's called.

Agree though that Eggy bread is eaten as a savoury dish and you add sugar to make it French toast.

Can't bear to hear the term eggy bread. It's up there with picky bits, roasties and toms. My problem I know...

As a child, in Cheshire, it was always French Toast, as an adult in Manchester and ever since it's eggy bread. Always savoury, always exactly the same. I just thought my parents were posh/pretentious!

Another one for Gypsy toast! (Hampshire). When you cut a circle out of fried bread and add an egg, that's called The Old Man and his Hat!

We call that an Eagle's Eye, lucysnowe2.
