kentauros
(29,414 posts)It seems like it would be good, especially with the right kind of bread.
Nonetheless, the picture seems like a portion big enough for two people...
magical thyme
(14,881 posts)Um, no.
boston cream = chocolate
french toast = real maple syrup
Period. eos.
kentauros
(29,414 posts)And I've often eaten French Toast with just butter and powdered sugar, no syrup anywhere.
Plus, in this case, the French Toast is taking the place of the cake as it will have a similar texture and makeup to the crumb of cake.
According to the comments section, people have made it and loved it. So, that's good enough for me

magical thyme
(14,881 posts)real maple syrup. from vermont or quebec or maine. period.
no maple syrup? not french toast. just some sort of facsimile.
kentauros
(29,414 posts)It's finished as French Toast when it's browned in the pan
magical thyme
(14,881 posts)no maple syrup? no maple syrup, no french toast!

kentauros
(29,414 posts)A Cuisinart brand 3.5 qt sauté pan, stainless steel, for just over $38, tax included! I've been needing that kind of medium-sized, straight-sided sauté pan for a while, but could never justify the much higher prices ($60-80, before taxes!)
Just have to clean it, touch up some scratches with a diamond file for the roughest spots, and I'm good to go for doing some vegetarian French cooking
magical thyme
(14,881 posts)Hey, I'm in Maine, which is practically Quebec, which is practically France!
Whereas Kentauros, iirc, is somewhere southwest, which is practically Mexico...so what would some tex-mex southerners know about French cuisine?
Not to mention I'm right next door to Bahstin. Which the centaur can't even spell right!
kentauros
(29,414 posts)not to mention that I grew up watching Julia Child on PBS (the original shows, not DVDs)
And "Boston" sounds like "Austin" with a 'b', DU's favorite (and seemingly only known) Texas city
Now, it does matter what part of France you'd prefer to visit. From everyone I've known that's gone to France, and is someone that likes the warmer areas of this country, to a T they all recommend the South of France. I suspect I'll agree, because I like pretty much any area on the Mediterranean. It's nice and warm!

(29,414 posts)That's not very Frenchlike
And need I mention - poutine!
Not to mention the now demise of Tim Hortons. Will Pizza Pizza be next?
magical thyme
(14,881 posts)I tried the Tim Hortons a couple years back up in Rockland. I wasn't impressed. I didn't get what the fuss was about...
kentauros
(29,414 posts)I only know secondhand, whether from watching SCTV, or when my past-wife (polite term for 'ex') talked about them. She is a Newfie, and lived in Ontario most of her life. So, I've been well-exposed to Canadian food and "tastes"

(41,132 posts)culture, language, art & food. This dish looks fabulous. Bananas Foster, a local dish of flambee bananas with rum is served with ice cream or cake as dessert, or with waffles. Many crepes dishes there also.

(156 posts)French toast should have butter and granulated sugar on it.
grasswire
(50,130 posts)Hey, it's bread and eggs and milk. Salt seemed logical.
Then I started using butter and honey. And I like that a lot.

(10,237 posts)Have you tryed french toast grilled cheese sandwiches ? they jelly on them too .
French toast cheese burgers are food .......french toast anyrhing is good .
kentauros
(29,414 posts)And some things do get almost too sweet, like some of the Lebanese filo-pastries that are soaked in honey. Yes, they are good, but I can't eat more than a few bites before I'm downing a pint of water!
As for your other suggestions, I wouldn't try the meat items, but might consider the grilled-cheese option, minus the jelly
Kali
(55,008 posts)in fact I don't really care for either of the originals
only French toast I ever liked was the deep fried battered kind at Bobs Big Boy.
and I don't really like custardy goo much either. How can such a picky eater get so fat?
kentauros
(29,414 posts)Everyone likes different things, thankfully (That is, chefs would be out of business if there was no variety.)
Have a look around the KA Flour blog, though. Lots of good stuff there
Kali
(55,008 posts)For some reason, they always seem drooled on.
kentauros
(29,414 posts)maybe, but no I meant when I looked
kentauros
(29,414 posts)And sometimes even bought things from them, like a Danish dough whisk so I could do no-knead bread dough mixing. The bucket I bought from a local restaurant supply store that will sell to the public. KAF sells proofing buckets, too, but might as well buy that kind of thing locally.
I'm still thinking of getting the donut pans (both the regular and donut-hole pan) so I can try their pumpkin-cake-donut recipe
Kali
(55,008 posts)couldn't find it locally, and I think some other basic ingredients. they kind of seem like they are too into mixes and over-priced gadgets. But the scratch recipes are good.

But I think they do make some good quality basic tools, such as their bench knife. I have one from my days in baking classes, but the one made by KAF is a little bigger, and has a much better wooden handle across the top. It doesn't feel flimsy in my hand like that old school-bought tool.
