My husband (who is British) had never heard of 'French
toast' until moving to the USA.

French Toast is well known in Britain and I wouldn't be at all surprised if
it was in fact a British recipe in origin. It appears in a lot of my older
British cookbooks.


read somewhere recently it was first known mentioned in a Roman
cookbook.
