A major concern about Brexit is, of course, its possible impact on French toast supplies in the UK.
Two songs by Ian Graham tackle these closely linked issues:
☞ French Toast (A la recherche du pain perdu)
Hear it by clicking the audio button below.
Or see it with drawings by Emilie Vercruysse. Just click the video button.
Pain perdu is the French name for French toast.
Which is strange, because lost bread isn't the English name for English toast.
Stranger still, what the French call lost bread, the Dutch call won bread...
☞ Blighty Blues
Blighty, in case you were wondering, is an old Brit name for the Sceptr'd Isle. It's sort of half-affectionate and half-despairing. So it's a good match for the Brexit mess. Links to audio and video versions of this blues are available below.
