À propos de la recette
We’ve all heard the classic argument pancakes versus waffles but people, we forgot about on important candidate: French toast!
Did you know that French Toast is actually not French at all! Despite to the name, the answer to where French toast originally came from isn’t France: It’s ancient Rome.
The origins of French toast are found in a recipe for “aliter dulcia,” which translates to “another sweet dish.” This recipe, the earliest on record reminiscent of French toast, was found in a 4th century Roman cookbook
French toast around the world is often enjoyed much like we usually serve it, but many countries give it a local twist. In India, savory French toast with spices, green chili, chopped onions, and salt is popular. Scottish French toast is often served with sausage between two slices like a sandwich. In Hong Kong, French toast doubles as a decadent peanut butter sandwich. New Zealand French toast is enjoyed with bananas, bacon, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Creole French toast kicks it up a notch — the milk and egg soaking mixture is spiked with alcohol, often whiskey.
