In Germany we call this 'Arme Ritter', which translates to 'Poor Knights', because apparently it was the posh way to use up old bread. And a quick search revealed that it is called 'Pain Perdu' - 'Lost Bread' in French. I had not heard the term 'French Toast' before, but 'Freedom Toast' is strange...

Anyway, these toasts, however they may be called, look very nice and even though I only know them in a sweet version I might try something similar should we ever have left-over sauce.
