Do you eat the crusts? the outsides of the loaf?

[EleanorReally]

we get through so many loaves of bread but i am guilty of throwing away the crusts.

Dh and dd1 eat the crust, but I don't. Then again, i give them to the dog so no waste

Yes, unless it's the only slice left in the bag and I'm unsure of how long it's been there for.

No because I don't like them so don't see the point in eating the extra calories

I put them in the freezer then we always have bread for feeding the ducks

i follow Love Food Hate Waste and was put to shame

Yout aren't supposed to feed bread to the ducks, it's not good for them

Yes yes yes it's the only bit I eat, I love it and feel sad for all the unwanted crusts thrown away lol

Do you mean the end slices (doorstops) rather than the crusts that are round each slice? They are nice toasted with butter and jam

Always. It’s the best bit especially on a Scottish plain loaf

You can feed it to the ducks now

yes the end bits

why can the ducks eat crusts when they coudnt before?

Yes we all like them. Do you ever use breadcrumbs in cooking? You cook save them for that

Yes. I hate waste. They are normally toasted. Or frozen and ground into breadcrumbs then left in freezer for ages because who really cooks with breadcrumbs.

No, noone likes them here.

If I'm whizzing bread for topping a pasta bake or similar I'll use a crust though to use it up. But we dont do that every 2 days!

*could

Yes, please don't feed bread to ducks, or any other bird, it's really bad for them. Here is some stuff you can safely feed them canalrivertrust.org.uk/enjoy-the-waterways/canal-and-river-wildlife/keeping-our-ducks-healthy/six-things-you-didnt-know-you-could-feed-ducks

I spread mine with garlic butter and bake in the oven, cheap garlic bread!

No, don't feed them bread. You can feed them oats, corn and peas though.

Ha tripple post!
We use as breadcrumbs but realistically that's as and when needed as we only use a slice or two maybe once a fortnight!

I dont belive most people would use breadcrumbs in cook8ng at the same rate as getting through a loaf of bread.

@pumpkinpie01 It’s actually a bad idea to feed ducks bread, I found out a few years ago!

www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/mar/16/dont-feed-the-ducks-bread-say-conservationists

i dont even feed it to the birds, due to rats
i will get out the food processor and whizz up some bags of bread crumbs for toppings

Yes more importantly wasn’t there a debate on here on what the end bits were called? A lot of people commented that the crusts was just the bit round the edges on every slice

That's what I regard crusts as. The end slices aren't crusts (to me)

Theres regional variation - they're crusts here in my bit of the south of england but it really does vary.

Same for what I'd call a roll - barm cakes and all sorts of other names everywhere else!
