>Hey, don't go insultin' French toast.
I don't think John was insulting French Toast. He was just implying that 
French Toast was just pain perdu with a different name.

That's the literal translation. It's due to the fact that it's made out of 
old bread that has gone so hard it would normally be lost for consumption. 
Just soak it in sugared milk (*really* soak it, like 15 minutes), paint 
each side with some egg, and bake it. Yummy! I suppose French Toast is the 
same thing. Very nice to improvise some Sunday morning's breakfast when you 
forgot to buy bread :)) .

Note that it works well only with French bread, and only when the bread has 
gone really hard, otherwise it doesn't survive the soaking part :))) .

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
