Rusk

Holland Rusk has been sold in American markets for more than 50 years.
"toast" is common in American English.

Thanks!

What would you call these?

Hi

In the UK, I think we mainly say 'rusk' when we mean the kind of dried bread that is given to infants. I'm pretty sure they have a different word in the US for that, but I don't know what it is!

Also, in the UK, what you picture there, we would call 'French Toast'

Hi

I've checked and, no, I can't find a separate US word for the dried bread biscuits that are given to infants. Maybe they just use the word 'rusk' more widely in the US than we do here

Also, my research tells me that what you pictured is also called 'Melba Toast'

Dave

Melba toast is thinner and squarer that what is in the picture.
The items in the picture are just toast. We make it in a toaster.

Where I grew up we called it by its brand name: Zwieback Toast.

"... that’s who Zwieback Toasts

Hi

I will have one more go at this ...

Melba toast, ideally, should be made with slices of ciabatta. You can just toast it but, somewhere, olive oil should be involved, either because you drizzle a little on afterwards, and / or, you griddle it on a surface moistened with olive oil

I was wrong about French toast. That's actually what, in the UK, we call eggy bread. You
