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.

I'd call crusts the bit that's the top and bottom of every slice. I assumed thats what the OP meant.

The heel?

I’ll eat them if I have to but otherwise I feed them to the children lol

Ummmm no

@dementedpixie true. We feed the pigeons scraps of sausage roll pastry outside Greggs lol
