[@JotaC]

@@evolvedcopper2205 you should just chill out and get cooking, you'll find that it's much more relaxing than stressful. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, everybody does, in the beginning, just try following recipes, and then, when you're familiar with what you like to eat and make, play around a little with spices, flavoring profiles, and naturally you'll see what you can or can't change in a recipe. It's super fun and shouldn't be taken so seriously.

I must stand up for Emily :) I'm from central Europe and we use to make "bread in eggs" only salty, not sweet. In fact, when I first saw French toast (sweet), I was surprised. Maybe the same like all of you were, seeing Emily use a ketchup :) It's really the same - stale bread, eggs mixed with milk, but you add a bit of salt and maybe pepper to it, if you want. Quick soak, fry it on the pan with some oil and you're done. And guess what is the very popular topping? :) Of course it's ketchup. Or some shredded cheese, if you're not really into ketchup like me. Or you can just eat it as it is, it's delicious on its own, as well :)

[@skimshady510]

Savory varieties of French toast are actually not that unusual. Some might debate - as the chefs do in this video - whether that still counts as "French toast", as the name has become more specific to do with the sweet variety among modern pastry chefs. But in terms of the basic definition of bread dipped in egg and fried - that's got lots of varieties and a lot of them are savory in nature. And yes, ketchup and cheese or cream are quite common among the savory varieties. They resemble more of an omelet in taste, perhaps.

Story time: When I was in high school, one guy in my class asked the french teacher (which is from France hahaha) the same question about why it's called French toast, and he told us that in France, when the bread is getting super old and hard, they mix egg and milk or even water, they put the bread in it, then they put it in the oven and when it comes out, it would be a nice soft bread, in ancient times, they didn't do it with the goal of getting a french toast, it was only a way to eat old bread and save some coins from not having to buy other piece of bread or bake it from scratch.

[@swanpride]

Story Time: The dish is actually originally from Germany (which is after all the country of the bread, so no surprise there) and is called there "Arme Ritter" (Poor Knights). Same in Sweden and a few other countries. Even in the US the dish was originally named "German Toast" not "French Toast". I am not quite sure why this changed, but I suspect simply for advertising reasons, plus, everything German was shunned during the two World Wars. You know, kind of a French Fries/Freedom Fries situation, except that the name stuck. Happend to quite a few German dishes. Still around, but renamed.

@@swanpride Since when germany is the country of bread? Bread is like much older than Gerany (or France, or countries in fact XD). And if I want to choose an area where bread appeared first, it will be Middle-East, especially Iraq/Iran, because... well that's where agriculture appeared ^^

@Krankar Volund Since Germany has 2256 official recognized kind of bread and is even applying for an UNESCO recognition. It has thousands of Bakeries, regional bread specialities and there is even a bread museum in Germany. Nobody else takes bread that serious. The last meal of the day is even literally called evening bread. So in a culture in which THAT much bread is eaten and celebrated, there is also left-over bread once a while, and quite a few dishes in which you can use it. Arme Ritter is only one example, there is also Scheiterhaufen and Semmelknödel (basically bread dumplings).
