The story the reviews tell
Fried bread is straightforward—a slice crisped in fat instead of a toaster's dry heat. Whether you use oil, butter, lard, or bacon drippings, frying gives you something toast cannot: a deeper savoriness and a shatter of crispness that lives in the fat itself. It's a practical choice for cooks without toaster space, and a flavor choice for those who've tasted the difference.
What makes this version distinct
Fried bread is a slice of bread that has been fried. It is used as a substitute for toast in various dishes or meals. Various oils, butter, lard, bacon drippings, or ghee can be used. Some cooks may choose to fry rather than toast to avoid having to give counter or storage space to or spend money on a toaster. Proponents of frying rather than toasting call out the extra flavor and crispiness that can be achieved by frying in fat rather than dry-toasting. French toast is a type of fried bread that is coated in an egg and milk batter before frying.
