The History of French Toast and Banana Pudding
French toast, also known as “pain perdu” (lost bread) in France, has been around for centuries. Its origins can be traced back to ancient Rome, where leftover bread was soaked in milk and baked, which was a delicious way to prevent food waste. Banana pudding, on the other hand, is a beloved Southern classic in the United States, prized for its creamy texture and layers of vanilla wafers and bananas. Combining these two iconic dishes creates a breakfast masterpiece that captures the best of both traditions.
