Do you eat the crusty end pieces of loaves of bread?

I do not. I generally chuck them. Horrible example of western excess and waste, I know. I wish there was some way to get them to the starving kids in Africa but it is just not practical.

However the reason I started this thread was I just got down to the two end pieces from a loaf of raisin bread - and I toasted them up. It did not seem right to chuck those. I toasted them and ate them with peanut butter. There is no reason I can't do the same with regular bread but I don't.

I'm not sure I can put my reasoning into words - I just know that raisin bread crosses some kind of line.
 
When I was a kid, you either ate the crust or you got your ass beat. I don't know exactly how that imprinted on me, but even though I don't enjoy eating the heel from loaves of bread (note use of the proper baker's term for the ends of a loaf), I still do it to this day rather than give them to the animals. I feel extremely guilty throwing any sort of food away, so it sounds like my life may be even more complicated than Mudcat's.

I always use the crust for toast. Much better than regular toast.
Muddy expand those horizons. Take the leap and toast those crusty ends. You won't be disappointed.

I always knew there was something wrong with ya, now I know what....... Muddy is right here I never eat the crusts... and I wouldn't have toasted the raisin bred up either.

Yeah, I'm sure it left some sort of imprint on me; I've certainly never cared much for authority and a strict upbringing probably played a heavy part in that.

I'm grateful for it, though. I came away from 15 years under my parents' roof with all the skills I needed to behave like a decent human being and respond in a thoughtful and mature manner to new situations I encountered. Sure, some of it was unnecessarily Draconian, but if the alternative is to end up like Blitty, I think the corporal punishment was well worth enduring.
 
RS, good for you buddy! The kids today have no discipline taught to them at all. TIME OUT crap! WTF! The parents need to smack around these kids when necessary.

When I wasn't paying attention to what my dad told me to do and then a shot across the side of my head got my attention.
 
You American fat-cat assholes need to go thru a war like my country did where there was NO food for anybody because the fvking Nazis shut the country down...

...then you'd eat your fvking crusts because your parents would have impressed the fact upon you that you have something that some folks in the world doesn't...FOOD.
 
I'm a cruster. I specifically save the end pieces till the rest of the loaf is gone just to make a sandwich with the two end pieces. Like Pavy I like the crust on pizza as well and pie crust. I actually prefer crust.

Muddy if we were neighbors you could have my good slices and you could give me your crusty slices. Muddy we would be Bread Friends.
