Last year, Shipra Mittal couldn’t figure out why she was putting on weight. Despite regularly working out and eating a diet that was “99 per cent vegetarian”, the 30-year-old Abu Dhabi resident was continuing to put on weight.

But, just before that, a quick walk down history lane tells us that French Toast has really nothing to do with France. In fact, its origins are in the Roman Empire, when Romans would soak bread in a milk and egg mixture, then fry it in oil or butter. It was called Pan Dulcis.
The name ‘French Toast’ first appeared in print in the Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink, in 1871. It is also known as German toast, Eggy bread, Gypsy toast, and pain perdu or “lost bread” in French. The name itself, apparently, is a take on a cook named Joseph French, who created the dish in 1724.
