In England they call it “eggy bread”. I’m guessing that’s because they don’t like the French.

This is also the same country that call French fries “chips”.

I fixed French toast for breakfast & wondered how it got its name. My wife said to ask Google & I said CB is more fun.

In French it's "pain perdu", which means "lost bread". When the bread is so old that it's lost, then you make pain perdu
