French Toast, known as "pain perdu" meaning "lost bread" in France, has humble origins. As a way to make use of stale bread, people would soak it in a mixture of eggs and milk then fry it, essentially breathing new life into something that would otherwise have been discarded. This practice dates back to medieval times and has since become a beloved comfort food in many cultures. Interestingly though, it's not French at all, but was named such by an innkeeper in 18th-century America, Joseph French. He named his version of the dish after himself, but grammatically, it should really be called "French's toast".
