A Food Question
May. 20th, 2009 10:42 amFirst, I want to apologize for being sort of content-light this week so far. Things have been busy since last Friday. I will strive to provide more interesting content than just birthday greetings.
And now my food question. When I was growing up, my mother made French toast (vive la France!) (sorry, that's a French toast. Never mind) using leftover (and sometimes vaguely stale, because if it's going to be soaked in egg and milk, staleness doesn't matter) challah. And in my own kitchen, I can't imagine making French toast with anything else. But I know that most American households' freezers are not as filled with half-loaves of challah as mine is. Which led me to wonder -- what sort of bread do people traditionally use for French toast?
ETA: My mother's challah recipe.
