National French Toast Day in USA

French toast is a dish made of sliced bread soaked in eggs and milk, then fried.

The French did not invent French toast. Rather, it was Americans who gave the name "French Toast" to this dish because French immigrants in America popularized the dishe. Albany, New York, innkeeper Joseph French introduced the dish to America in 1724. He intended to name his creation “French's Toast” but inadvertently left out the apostrophe and S. The phrase “French toast” first appeared in print in 1871. It appeared in the Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink.

In the United States, restaurants usually serve French toast with butter, maple syrup and powdered sugar, but the possibilities are endless. French toast can be topped with just about anything. Each year on November 28, people across the United States observe National French Toast Day.
