Pan-perdu

You might think that the French took our Russian croutons and called them some obscene word! But in fact, it is possible that we borrowed this simple dish, the name of which translates as "lost bread". That is, it is stale bread that has been given a second life. This is the base, and you can add anything to it: berries, salted caramel, chocolate, and ice cream.
