Don't Toss The Bread

French Toast Day

Really?
I’m only just getting back
 into the blogging paddock
and I’m sent off
to learn about
 French Toast Day!?
OK!
 
1500’s – that was
a long, long time ago…
but that’s how long
people have been
eating French Toast!
In England, French Toast
was known as
the “poor knight’s pudding”.
It was so cheap to make,
even a poor knight could eat it! 
While we call it French Toast,
the French called it
“pan perdu”,
which translates (I’m told)
to “lost bread”.
It was named this
as it was the perfect way
 of getting rid of stale bread.

So… Being French Toast Day,
you best soak up some bread
 in egg mix and fry it up
 for breakfast!
Enjoy!
