just a little note: The French call French Toast 'pain perdu' which literally means lost toast, but refers to day-old bread that's lost that fresh feeling. And now I totally understand why they would invent such a glorious thing:
1-everyone here buys fresh baguettes or loaves everyday. No preservative-loaded supermarket bread allowed. And everyone is pretty thin, so there's no way they eat the whole thing in a day.
2- the french don't make what we know as toast. They buy pre-toasted squares that come in a cardboard box.
and thus french toast is born. yum.
