AIBU because i will only eat bread that has been bought that day....

[MateyM00]

then i wont eat the crusts

but i could eat a whole loaf just with butter....

This happens about once every few months, because we do a weekly shop not a daily shop so i dont ususally eat bread because its not 'fresh' enough.

Not unreasonable - just odd.

I am exactly the same! DH thinks I'm weird.

I love stale bread, and the crusts! (I've even been known to pick off the mould - sorry!)

I only eat fresh bread too but I love the crusts.

YAB unusually fussy, but as long as it doesn't lead you to be rude or to be a bad guest then it's not unreasonable.

very weird.. you need a better bread bin, then it would stay fresh longer

you need to bake your own... then you could have fresh bread daily.

Do your kids notice that you are a picky eater? and do they copy you?

What if you eat bread that you haven't bought, at a friend's house or a restaurant - can you actually tell if it's fresh that day or not? I guess not and you're just being intentionally fussy/picky

YABU if you end up throwing the rest of the bread away but if you're eating it all as a family I don't see the harm

Yabu - how do you know how long the bread has been in the shop?

or do you check the shelf life too?

I'm the same. I love it on day one, will eat it toasted on day two, won't touch it on day three. Hence my breadmaker is on constantly and I can't remember the last time I bought bread.

I'm the same. I don't eat bread unless it is very fresh! When I buy a loaf it has to have 4 days to use by. I may eat it on the second day though. I hate hate hate bread when it starts to go even slightly firm around the crusts.

And I don't eat crusts.

Have you heard of toast? Bread and butter pudding? Bread pudding? Breadcrumbs for a steamed pudding? Bread sauce?

Yanbu. I can't drink milk past a day, makes me queasy thinking about it.
I do eat old bread.

Dh is funny about bread. Wont eat bread that has been frozen, not even for toast.

I can't eat leftovers. It makes me feel ill just thinking about it!

Make your own then you won't have a problem.

Don't you own a freezer? I dislike stale bread, but will eat bread a few days old. Fresh, unsliced bread that doesn't have any preservatives in it goes stale more quickly, so I slice it all and put it in the freezer. I then take out the number of slices I need as and when I require them.

It never tastes the same when it has been frozen. My mum was queen of freezing the bread. Maybe that is why I have to have it so fresh now?!

YANBU - I'll only eat freshly baked bread too. I think it comes from working in a bakery on weekend from 14-18 yo. I got used to the good stuff ;) dh thinks I'm insane, dd loves that we always have stale bread left to feed the ducks :)

B) The fact you've asked about it - Precious

I hate eating crusts. We never ate them in our house when I was a child. Crusts were for birds. DH always eats crusts. Don't like stale bread but it is v unreasonable not to eat bread that's more than a day old.

Fresh bread is wonderful. After you're had some you really don't want to go back to day old not as nice bread.

"I can't eat leftovers. It makes me feel ill just thinking about it!"

Words fail me!

We keep sliced bread in the freezer for toast, and make a loaf every couple of days. I actually quite like a chewy crust. But I am phobic about milk that has been open more than a day - if it smells like milk, I don't want it!
