It is what they call French toast (literally translated "lost bread", because it was often made with stale bread). I was just trying to give the more-correct spelling they were going for with the slang term if he was Googling it.

ETA: I now see they're two different things.

It is corass. It translates to "The Other". It is a cousin of pain paindu. Pain paindu means Close to Bread, or Almost Bread. Corass means "The other kind of almost bread." That is a loose, slang translation.

One is done with butter and the other is done with lard, or bacon grease.

I have no idea how you spell it, and could not find it on the internet either, but my wife makes it and the kids and their friends love it. They dip it in cane syrup. I use maple syrup.

How do you eat it?

Bees-kwee = biscuit
Frit = tried

So my guess would be bees-kwee frit but the only French words I know should not be said in front my mother.

Pain perdu means lost (perdu) bread (pain), but people often refer to it as "french toast".

It does not mean "French Bread".

The French don't refer to their own bread as "French bread".

Source: Am French,

Its spelled Corasse. Typically fried biscuit dough, covered with powdered sugar and syrup.

Pain Perdu is " Lost bread" as others have stated. Its just french toast.

You yanks sometimes...
