原來, 正宗法蘭西多士 Pain Perdu.

英文意譯是 lost bread, 即 失去的面包.

因為...主角是乾硬了的隔夜法包Baguette.

French toast, also known as eggy bread or gypsy toast, is a dish of bread soaked in beaten eggs and then fried.

When French toast is served as a sweet dish, milk, sugar, vanilla or cinnamon are also commonly added before pan-frying, and then it may be topped with sugar (often powdered sugar), butter, fruit, or syrup.
When it is a savory dish, it is generally fried with a pinch of salt, and can then be served with a sauce such as ketchup or mayonnaise.

 後記:

港式西多士又稱 法蘭西多士.

 Hong Kong–style French toast is listed at number 38 on the World's 50 most delicious foods compiled by CNN Go in 2011.

英文名 French Toast, 顧名思義源自法國.

坊間常爭論: 西多應否有"夾心" ? 

原來, Pain Perdu變奏版才會有饀.

Stuffed French toast is a sandwich of two pieces of French toast filled with bananas, strawberries, or other fruit. It is usually topped with butter, maple syrup, and powdered sugar.

而港式西多...通常有夾心.

  It is made by deep-frying stacked sliced bread dipped in beaten egg or soy, served with a slab of butter and topped with golden syrup, or sometimes honey. Two slices are normally used and a sweet filling is usually added.
