i eat this regularly, its a nice meal to have and its filling too. Now im origionally from Northern Ireland (dont start with the "SEND EM BACK" you know were good at making bombs) So we may be calling it something different from what the English call it, The meal itself is basically:

Slice of bread
Milk
Eggs
Sugar - KEY INGREDIENT

The bread is soaked in this mixture until its lovely and coated, it is then fried on a frying pan for about 5-7 Minutes then eaten. Now ive talked to some of my mates and ive always refered to this as French Toast but for the situation i call it "Eggy Bread and Sugar" other wise i get a certain look from them. but the offical name for it still alludes me.

so what is the name for this scrumptious meal? Eggy Bread or French Toast?
 
Sounds like a special version of eggy bread, which I definitely think I'll have to try some time soon. Called it Bready Egg to distinguish it.
 
French Toast is what I've always called it and as far as I'm aware it is the correct name, at least unless you want to say it in French.

//edit don't listen to G|mp on this matter, they've only just discovered fire in Wolverhampton. ;)

Glad to hear im not the only one who calls its French Toast, i just thought that was an irish name for it i guess.

Nay laddie, ye be wrang again, it's Irn Bru. How else do you think it gets that glorious golden colour when it is cooked? :p

Although now you mention it Buckie might be just the ticket, I'll have to give this some thought.
 
We used to call it bread dipped in egg when I was a kid. It was made when the bread was too stale for anything else, which is why, I believe, the French make. Cos their bread is goes stale quickly.

Could someone tell me what he just said?

:D:p
 
There was a thread about this a while ago.

I go for eggy bread if savoury (ie without sugar) and was led to believe with sugar it's french toast (which is sweet and horrible).
 
Is someone insulting dundonians?

edit: egg IN bread beats any variation of the sort: butter in pan, hole in bread, bread in pan, egg in hole, flip. Result: fried egg suspended in toast.
