  - Yeah, I didn't know it was possible as well and it appears it is not really performed in the US. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 24, 19:51 5

- It is not something to have every day, but when it is done right, oh so good -- nm - amoxy Nov 24, 19:30 5
  - I think regular French toast is one of the best foods ever. - Kelly Nov 24, 20:03 3
