      I've been cooking seriously for decades and I'm just NOW learning that in the UK, French Toast is called EGGY BREAD.

      But that’s exactly what it is! I’ve never quite understood why Americans add a nationality to so many foods?

      Eggy bread isn’t French though. Neither are French Fries etc etc

      This is the wrong way to look at historical food influence. Yes, "cooking bread in eggs" goes back to ancient rome, but those names come from pain perdu and pomme frites, popularized in america's franophile historical eras. They ARE french in terms of influence.

      And more importantly, I believe it's really important to track the evolution of that food, as it's culturally important to understand the way that food is changed by the cultures as they come in.

          Plus French Toast sounds so much better than eggy bread.

          I still don’t understand why Americans don’t just call them by their French name then rather Americanising and adding a nationality? And why does it only apply to some recipes and not others?

          I can think of lots of recipes in Britain that reference a specific place: Dijon mustard, Neapolitan pizza, Hamburger. But the only recipe I can think of with a nationality is Greek yoghurt which I’m pretty sure is about how it’s made not just that it’s imported from Greece.

          That’s all well and good for you yankees. But we call ‘em french fries too, which is silly because they’re clearly American.

          On the subject, I'd strongly recommend The Language of Food - A Linguist Reads the Menu (Dan Jurafsky)!
