Do threads get any thrillinger than this?

Do you eat your crusts first?

Sometimes I don't eat them at all

Depends on the bread/pizza.

Certainly not

Why on god's green earth would a person eat the crusts first?

I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for very thrilling replies.

No, btw

Absolutely!!!! Hate the crusts so save the rest (the best bit!) for last!!!!

I rip them off and throw them away. No filling at the edge so they are pointless imho

I do - its the best part! Specially the top of the bread.

I'm considering starting a thread about the twigs that keep falling down my chimney. And by 'falling' I mean the bastard crow that insists on living up there keeps trying to rebuild his nest and dropping them down. We swept the chimney last week. We're having a cowl fitted on Friday to stop the little beggar.

See that's much more thrillingy isn't it?

I eat crusts whenever they meet my mouth btw. No order, no system.

Rip and chuck, me.

My hair is very, very straight.

ShowofHands, you're a maverick, you are.

Oh, Showy, be careful it's not a bastard jackdaw. Twice last year a jackdaw fell down our chimney. Once it came down the diningroom chimney, so was perched on the bookcase when we came downstairs and the second time the stupid bugger got stuck on the metal plate covering the living room fireplace. Luckily the chimney sweep got it out.

If it makes the same mistake this year, I'm leaving it there. Darwin in action, y'see?

If it's sandwiches, then I often leave them. If it's toast and I have proper butter (not that low fat crap) then I leave them until last so they go cold and crunchy, whereupon I smother them in butter and eat them slowly, to fully enjoy every mouthful.

Yum.

I don't actually know that it's a crow tbh. The sweep said it looked like a crow's nest and it sounded like a crow when he was chastising us for removing his- frankly enormous- nest. I've never seen him. He's a chatty little feck though. Squeaking the night away, lobbing twigs down the chimney. I think he's got a lady friend up there atm.

We're having a logburner put in on Friday. His days are numbered.

Save 'em til last, then have a good sniff to heighten the enjoyment of what is, without question, the best part of the bread.

Hard/crispy/crusty crusts are eaten first to get rid of them.

Soft/squidgy crusts are saved until last.

I try to alternate mouthfuls between crust and crustless - ensuring I finish on crustless. I used to eat the crusts first but found it too arduous to eat that much crust first.

I always cut my sandwiches diagonally to get a better crust to crustless ratio. My brain tells me the amount of crust is the same, but it just seems more favourable somehow.

Great thread!

Knew it.

Nutters.

(although I have to cut Mars Bars up with a knife and have really neat, layered lumps)

Loving your work cupandsaucer

[hard stare]

Ooh I haven't had a mars bar for about 10 years. Mmmmmmmm.

Chaosy, I could only ever hijack your threads, because you're so accommodating. Other folks are not so nice.

Is this data for your spreadsheet btw?

What Mars Bar craziness is this???

On crusts; yep - is like the chore before the good bit. I truly wish I was less conditioned & could just leave them as the dd's do.

Chaos, you have so many thread running, there's no room for anyone else, so we have to hi-jack yours

Showy do yo ulive on a ship?
maybe it actually was a crow's nest, not a nest of a crow, iyswim.

The dog eats ours.

I have been having crust guilt lately, trying to lose weight, and so it would be better to rip and chuck, but I can't stop myself from eating them first.

It really shouldn't be so hard to resist them! Just empty pathetic calories.
