French Toast, An Easy Way to a Heftily Delightful Breakfast

Posted by Piset , Reader : 935 , 22:41:47

I just like to jam up with the gourmet blogs with Khun Pan with my very simple dish, French Toast. Hey guys and gals, how many of you know how to make French Toast? My recipe, learned from Mrs. Wollenberg of San Francisco in the 60's. One chicken egg (duck's egg doesn't work as well) mix with 1/3 cup of homogenized milk (those regular milk sold in the cartons). Beat them up well, put in a small amount of salt. Dip a slice of bread in this egg-milk mixure and fry ove medium heat on the flat bottom frying pan with very small amount of grease. Turn ove as it turned brown. and bring it up when both sides are slightly brown. Each of this mix is good for about 3-4 slices of bread. Double that if you need more. If you don't have any syrup and butter at home, then you can eat your French Toast by putting the peanut butter on first and they pour honey over it. My kids just love it this way. They would lover it more if I have a few slices of bacon on the side with scramble eggs.

Piset,
I too like the raisin bread french toast, sour dough was different, potato bread was good, in my home town there are 30 or 40 different kinds of bread in the market daily, so variety was easy.

I have tried making French Toast using whole wheat bread and raisin bread. Both of them tasted wonderfully.

Dalmasian:

Yes, I stopped buying milk in China for about a month before trying my first French Toast a week ago. So far so good, no sign of stone in me yet.

Make sure the milk you use is not sourced from China and does not contain melamine. Otherwise you will end up with melamine toasts!

manc, I'm not sure if legally banned is the correct expression. Shall we say there are legal guidelines now in force which I strongly suspect would ban any form of suet pud from schools.
Regarding porridge, from oats not rice, in England it is treated as a sweet, with sugar and milk. In scotland it is often a savoury with salt and a knob of butter, I like both styles.
rad, beer is a generic word, as you say it has many categories. The main ones are Stout, Ales and lagers, and goes from black to brown to light yellow.
This we have a brown ale and a light ale. We also have IPA (Indian pale ale), which looks like a lager. Beers go in and out of fashion, my father used to drink "mild and bitter", now only Bitter is available in most pubs, usually in two grades, Bitter and Best Bitter. There is as much variety in beers as there are in wines, a Frenchman or Italian knows his wines, an Englishman knows his beers

The rest of the world just muddles along

Ian,

You guys and your beer, nationalism at its best, I understand all of the UK beer is foreign owned?

Pissy? I have seen a good many stout hearted lads go down after a couple of bottles of Chang.

Tell me that Pimms Cup is good?

Marmite with porridge? That's a new one for me.

By porridge, you mean congee? If so, I ca understand because the saltiness of marmite i quite similar to that of soy sauce. But if it's English porridge, the taste would be interesting.

Manc-when I was a kid in Malaysia, I had marmite with porriadge whenever I had a fever.

Oh yes, I know Jamie, not personally of course. His programme was quite fun to watch.

What do you mean by banned? Like legally banned?

Treacle banned?? You must be pulling my leg.

They were serving it in boarding schools a few years back.

I prefer rhubarb to apple crumble. A hard thing to find in Thailand rhubarb. Can't wait til Christmas, so I can have som mince pies!

manc, yes Guinness is Irish, it is in a category of beers called "Stouts", there is a skill to pouring it and drinking it. Amongs beer drinkers lagers are often called "pissy beer" because that is all it is good for:-)

Treacle pud, an old school favourite now banned. (unhealthy and fattening). My favourites are apple tart or crumble with custard, and a multilayered trifle.

Ian,
I think maybe your description of beer might be a home grown one.

Beer covers the whole spectrum, bock, ale, lager, pilsners, steam etc. They are all beer, just different categories. Ale is brewed at a higher temp than a lager, but each of those categories has different techniques.

I was in Germany for a few years and tied to adjust to room temp, but never made it and they have excellent beer.

English desserts are really nice too. I haven't had treacle pudding for so long now.

Ian, I understand you not liking the "muddy" fish. I don't like them either.

I prefer Bovril spread on toast rather than making it into a drink.

Guinness is Irish right?

I don't really like lager, prefer ale. Personally I think lager tastes like piss, with some exceptions of course.

Marmite on toast and cut into slices is that favourite of children called "marmite soldiers". Australians make an inferior brand (they think it superior), of Marmite caled "Vegemite"
As marmite is a yeast extract from fermented beer it will have a similarity to Soy sauce made from fermented soya beans.
The stuff which people drink outside of England is rarely beer, it is Lager, a very different brewing process. Probably the nearest you would find in Asia except speciality pubs would be Guinness.
The Munich "Bier Feste" is actually a lager festival, his is why they can drink 10 litres and live. Try doing the same with 10 litres of "Newcastle brown Ale" or Newkie as it is normally called. To enjoy the full richness of a beer it should be drunk at room temperature, or even heated in winter.

I cannot stand Thai fish, it all tastes of mud, I can only eat sea fish in Thailand.
Manc, Bovril is a beef extract and is normally used to make a hot drink or sometimes gravy. It used to be my favourite after getting changed at my local swimming pool.

manc,
To be fair it was in 1960 or so, but then it was everywhere.

I visited again in 2001 and the food was great.

I don't like English "Fish&Chips" as they're way too greasy and pretty tasteless compare to Thai fried fish dishes.

Londoner's Pub at he basement of UBC2 building near the Emporium serve some nice British pub food too.

Rad, I'm Thai, and when I first went to ENgland, I was 11 years old. Back then I agreed, English food totally sucks. I remember I had to eat instant noodles nearly every night to stay alive.

Funny thing is, I got used to English food! Marmite is salty, reminds me a bit of soy sauce. Pies are delicious too, especially steak&kidney, and chicken and mushroom.

I think maybe you ate some below-average English food, just like I had when I was first there (school food is probably crap everywhere).

Hmm. talking about English, I haven't had "toad in the hole" for a while, ask Ian what that is if you don't know.

And about the marmite on French toast, I spread them on the toast, actually I do prefer Bovril.

manc,
I think I am going to be sick.

My wife was an anglophile so we tried many things English, I soon began to get the idea that eating and drinking was a torture ritual. Pim's Cup and poison like gin drinks, then of couse the liquid referred to as beer, dark and thick and warm, sometimes mixed with other even more vile tasting brews and juices, just to test your mettle. I remember an ale, John Courage, the slogan at the time was "John Courage builds inner man."

Boiled til taste was gone then boiled more, veggies, meat that was treated the same way as the veggies, worst were the pie things, where the over cooked food was stored for the unsuspecting in lovely little flaky crusts.

Were it not for fish and chips and Indian food I would have starved on my first visit.

I love putting marmite on French toast.

I like it sweet or savory, I also sprinkle cinnamon on the egg mixture, the sweet we have in place of pancakes or waffles. Savory is good with bacon.

Fast and easy to prepare.

He forgot to mention it must be white bread and only American influenced people add syrup etc We prefer it as a savoury, not as a sweet.

Quite often the kids are bored of our traditional breakfast. They would ask me for some changes, such as, French Toast, Pan Cake, or Tuna Sandwiches. Some times, bacon and scramble eggs go a long way. They just love it.

Sounds "heftily" delicious! Never know this word until you post it.
