French toast did not, in fact, originate in France; it existed long before the country was formed. French Toast is really referred to as "pain perdu", which translates to "lost bread" in France. This dish was created to use up all of the stale bread from earlier days when food was scarce and nothing had to be wasted. Around 300 A.D., in Rome, the first French toast recipe was documented by a Roman author, Apicius, in the ‘Cooking and Dining in Imperial Rome’. The decadent meal was known as "Roman Bread" for many years by the French people themselves. The world has largely embraced French toast today.
