What the... VANILLA!?

gross. Seriously. I would not eat that.

I want to say this as nice as I can, but what the fuck is wrong with you?

You add a dash of vanilla extract, ground up, or whatever into the batter. Not to do so is almost as blasphemous as adding beans to chili.

You guys can add vanilla to your french toast all you want but I would never eat that.

I do not want eggs tasting like vanilla that is just blech. I like my french toast to taste like the egg mixture and bread and butter not vanilla.

In my entire life until I came on this forum this day, I have never known anyone who puts vanilla on his french toast. And that is a world I am glad I live in and this one is the one I just visit.

I have been to France. but I didn't eat French toast there.

I dont think French toast is a staple of French cuisine because it was never offered for any of the breakfasts I had there. But I was only there for a week.
 
I have been to france too,and I didnt get to eat anything,cuz the Parisians hate germans!
Had to wait 3 hours for a Freaking Meal!!! Went to McD instead.

I want to crush your puny insignificant vanilla-less world with my Canadian Iron Fist.

pain perdu

but I'm sure you had all sorts of sauces that were concoctions of things like eggs and vanilla were mixed into them.

Really what's so bad about vanilla mixed with eggs? Haven't you ever made cake before?

i use vanilla in alot of things. and if the eggs are in something else fine but the eggs on french toast are too much just egg for me to want to make them sweet or vanilla-y.

I wouldnt put vanilla in scrambled eggs.

I haven't had French toast in years.

And now I want some.

And the shops are closed.

Goddammit.

Also, fun fact: in Finnish, French toast is known as köyhät ritarit, 'poor knights'. Don't ask me why. Probably because it's relatively easy and cheap to make, yet has this rich quality to it.

but you put powdered sugar or syrup on french toast...? Don't you? French toast isn't scrambled eggs on bread after all. You do mix your eggs with milk, butter before dipping the bread right? I wouldn't pour milk on scrambled eggs... That's the whole idea behind cooking. You can make different things with different ingredients.

That's interesting, NR... but now I must know why. I love those weird, lost-in-translation sort of things.
 
I don't put vanilla in french toast when I make it but I am sure I have had it with it.

Generally I just use eggs and milk and dip em in, then when cooked I coat with powdered sugar and syrup.

as far as i am concerned the eggs on french toast is basically a giant scrambled egg. I dont want it to taste like vanilla. If the syrup is on top then i like it but i wouldnt put syrup in the eggs and cook them.
 
it almost sounds like Makare's french toast is very near 'egg in a nest'.


I wouldn't eat vanilla on that either.

But that's not french toast. French toast is supposed to be more custardy.

And guess what? Custard is made with eggs. And vanilla.

When I make french toast i take like three eggs, scramble them with milk, dip the bread in them and then cook the bread.

I know what french toast is.

My writing prof says that the use of the word clearly implies that it is not clear.
 
Things for people to try out on Sunday morning and to discuss later on. Have breakfast that consists of :

- French Toast (with Canadian syrup)
- Sideorder of Scrambles Eggs (with Canadian Syrup)
- 2 slices of Bacon

Choice of coffee or orange juice.

Make sure to shop ahead of time!

Do you ever top your syrup with syrup? Sometimes I have pancakes and I look at the plate and think, "You know what this needs? Another goddamn layer."
 
I prefer Canadian Toast myself. You know, it's the toast that sits in it's place properly and won't mistakenly drop a vanilla bomb on his allies, the bacon bits or the scrambled eggs. God damn, I'm terrible.

And yes, I put syrup on everything. Even women.

You only put in like 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract into that mix with a generous sprinkling of cinnamon. Unless you have some adverse hatred of vanilla flavor or cinnamon, it makes the flavor of the whole thing really stand out. Maybe you should actually try it before declaring it disgusting.

btw, three eggs is a shit ton of eggs for a single serving of french toast. You should use 1 egg per 4 slices. I think the problem is URE DOIN IT WRONG!
