Where the fuck was that one moment of clarity for research I experienced when I decided to debunk the etymology of French Toast in random fucking Reddit thread?

#someone claimed it originated from a colonial american inn keeper named french who called it ''french's toast''#and date the origin circa mid 1700s #i ended up finding the only sources with that claim all being recipe blogs #with the only reputable source at the bottom of one being the Smithsonian #didnt exist. i did find a recipe book from the 1600s for french toast where you soaked french bread in eggs; seasoning and orange juice #and it was on like... JSTOR #an engaging pice of research imho
