I would not eat French toast with anything other than real Maple syrup. I haven't touched the fake stuff in thirty years. Yes, its best made with day-old bread (French is the best).

Q - I don't know about Sorcha, but I put ketchup on my fried eggs sometimes, especially if they are served with potatoes.

Tomatoes are another question. My mother (being Danish) sprinkled hers with sugar. I alway thought that was disgusting!
