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.

Jeez, the milk we buy has already been pasteurised, filtered and homogenised (unless you buy Duchy Original dahlink) beyond any recognition of what milk is in its raw state and people still won't drink it past day 1?!

What about yoghurt?

I've known supermarket milk to be fine about 10 days after opening it - which frankly is a bit freaky.

It is unreasonable if it means you end up wasting a lot of food.
I usually prefer crusts to the rest of the bread, except pizza crusts, too doughy or stringy (yuck).

YANBU as it doesn't affect anyone else, but I have to be honest here. If DH did that, I would find it extremely annoying and fussy.

Wasting food affects everybody

TheDetective · 17/06/2012 11:05

Not in my house - DP eats everything I don't Hmm

You could say we balance each other out! He isn't fussy in the slightest Grin

Bonkers!!!!!;-)

Get yourself a bread machine, sounds like it would pay for itself before too long.

Or freeze bread. Or both. I agree defrosted bread isn't quite as nice as fresh, but it's perfectly fine and you probably wouldn't even notice the difference for toast.

I wouldn't eat untoasted bread after the first day, but I would be happy to toast it for a couple of days. I was, however, a bit horrified when we went away for a week with inlaws and mil, in a bid to control the food supply, bought enough bread rolls to last the week and was still expecting us to eat them for lunch in all their crusty disgutingness five days later. It wasn't even like we were that far from a shop.

Fresh bread is wonderful. But not eating it because it is 24hrs old? Does it get thrown away? If so then YABVVU.

I put my milk phobia down to being forced to drink the whole of a bottle of warm, rancid milk at school aged about 6 - promptly puking all over the classroom Since then I have barely touched the stuff, the smell turns my stomach. I am ok with just-opened milk, or a splash in coffee, otherwise I have rice milk which doesn't smell though congeals a bit at the bottom of the carton?

Paiviaso · 17/06/2012 13:34

Agree that if you are that picky about your bread you should make your own.

I make almost all my own bread now, its pretty simple!

YABU if I or anybody else in my family only eat bread on the day it was bought and didn'r eat crusts I would be throwing a lot of bread out and wasting money. Also bread you buy from the supermarket might not actually have been put on the shelf that day, The same goes for milk. The only way to have really freash bread is to buy from a bakery every day or bake your own,

slowestwildebeast · 17/06/2012 17:15

ivanapoo I didn't say there was anything wrong drinking milk past 1 day, it just makes me feel sick as I hate milk and I have horrible memories of some spilled all over the floor and the smell of it making me feel sick, feel sick now thinking about it.

Milk is revolting, drinking juice from a cows udder is not normal.

well, thatnks for all the posts,

nothing gets wasted in this house... i used to give them to dd when she was tiny, because if i gave her the soft stuff she turned it into mush before it made it to her mouth.

We have chickens and we feed the birds the leftovers. I will eat day old bread as toast, and DH will eat it even with the mould on.

DD takes after me in that she will eat fresh bread, and she eats it all including the crusts, but she is funny in that she wont eat a sandwich. she will eat ham and bread but not a ham sandwich.

I guess we're all bonkers!Grin
