- espadrine 5y agoWe only call it that when we visit the US though.
- Kydlaw 5y agoI'm sorry to announce you that somebody fooled you. Source: I'm french, lived in many different regions and everybody called it simply "pain perdu". Moreover, french people usually do not add the origin of a recipe like american do on a regular basis.
- glandium 5y agoAlso, pain perdu and French toast are different things. You don't use fresh bread for pain perdu, that would be a waste (pun intended).
