Origin
The history of French toast is very curious, it dates back to the 15th century and apparently it was a suitable food for the recovery of parturients. What do you think? The first known reference to a similar product is in the work of Apicio . He compiled a collection of Latin recipes dating back to the 4th or 5th centuries. The recipe book mentions that the slice of bread should be dipped in milk, not to mention the egg, and does not give it a special name. He just calls it aliter dulcia (another sweet dish).
Milk migrated and sweetened bread was widely known in medieval Europe under the names of suppe dorate, soupys and n dorye, tostées dorées or pain perdu in France , which gave payn purdyeu (lost bread) in the United Kingdom . Martino da Como wrote a recipe. This juicy bread was often served with game birds and other meats. The word soup or suppe in the names mentioned refers to the fact that it has been immersed in a liquid, a “soup”.
As early as the fourteenth century, the Le viandier de Taillevent recipe book presented the recipe for «golden toast» (tostées dorées), which was dipped in beaten egg yolk before being passed through the pan and sprinkled with sugar.
At the same time, a German recipe book uses the name arme ritter (poor knight), 67 a name used in English as poor knight. and in the Nordic languages . Also in the fourteenth century Taillevent presented a recipe for tostées dorées.
In Spain , the term «torrija» or «torreja» appears already documented in the XV century. Juan del Encina uses «torreja» in a Christmas carol from his Cancionero (1496) «honey and many eggs to make torrijas, 10 apparently as a suitable dish for the recovery of parturients.
