    statesian here. why would i be offended that the chinese made a good food for the… is that the spanish flag? i am not good at vexillology. so for the spanish market that they call english french toast that has weird flavors, then they label it American to indicate it should go on the “weird foreigners’ food” aisle whatever it’s called where you live? Have you tasted dorito? Root beer? They are delicious (especially when you get that one root beer with the nutmeg in it, it comes in that cool bottle i forget the name doctor humperbeck’s or something) but damn do they taste weird when you sit and focus on the flavor. some root beers are almost medicinal. sioux city sarsaparilla (any of sioux city’s sodas they bottle a good fizz) though, that shit i will ride my battery and legs out to pick up a bottle.

    sorry, i just realized I’m hungry. or munchy. I’m going to go take care of that.

    edit: and my cat just sat on my lap so i guess i’m not.

    For those who don’t know: “ドイツ風” translates to “German-style” (according to deepL)

    If you thought muricans were gonna get mad because you accused us of smushing a bunch of European countries’ cuisines together to produce something new, you have fundamentally misunderstood our national character and cuisine.

      It’s rather yellow so an enriched bread? Egg yolks will do that, so is “French Toast” suggesting that egg has been added somewhere (since the traditional custard bread would be dipped in for French toast contains egg?)

      I’ve also seen “French Toast Bagels” before which are basically a richer, sweetened/vanilla/maple flavored bagel. Maybe they were going for a similar “French Toast” flavored slice of enriched bread?

      God, I’ve already put far more thought into this than I should have.

      Edit FUCK! BUT WHY THE PIZZA?!?!?!?

        I suspect that the “american style” means there is no custard, it’s a slice of bread soaked in scrambled egg with some cinnamon, then pan-fried. In that case, it’s likely just a piece of bread with egg and cinnamon.

          American style French toast is scrambled egg and some form of cream or milk and vanilla, which is basically a custard.

          Just egg by itself would be super gross I suspect.

            it’s not horrible, but it needs salt. It becomes savory.

              I can’t tell if you’ve totally understood what I meant or are trying to make a joke. For the record I meant egg soaked bread with no sugar or cream would probably be really gross. I do eat plain eggs, but this would be the first time that I’ve heard about savory French toast if that’s what you meant.

                It would be like me to make a joke of it, but this one was real.

                My 6yo woke me up at 5am after i went to sleep at 3am, demanded french toast.

                I made it with one eye open. The first batch was without milk/cream/sugar. Not to be one to waste food, I made a second batch for him with all the right stuff and tried to see if I could recover the first batch enough I could eat it.

                I had 5 or 6 cooked slices to work worth, tried various things to add sweet including powered sugar and syrup, but somehow the eggy bite was just alternated with violent sweetness. Not great.

                The second slice, I tried rubbing with fresh basil and dusting with fine salt, that turned out ok.

                The third slice I used everything bagel seasoning and that was pretty banging. The savor didn’t seem to suffer with a lack of mixing like the sweet stuff did.

                Savory French toast isn’t amazing, but honestly it wasn’t awful. I probably wouldn’t make it again unless i screwed up.

                I did try panco breading some recently after the soak, then deep-frying, which wasn’t half bad.

            custard means you temper the egg in warm milk or cream, I’ve never seen french toast done with an actual custard in Canada outside of nicer restaurants.

            We do also add something sweet for serving, usually some combination of syrup, icing sugar, fruit, whipped cream, etc.

              I think we might be splitting hairs on what counts as a custard at this point. But I suppose as a Canadian you are slightly more French adjacent than I am.

              Yeah, I’ve never seen French toast served dry. Personally I like to add peanut butter as well as syrup.

    I could tell it’s American because it’s in plastic, all the cooking has been done, and leagues of tubby people bitch it’s only a single portion, meaning they have to open thirty or forty packets for a snack, when it would make more sense to have it like a loaf of sliced bread.
