To ask what you do with the ends of your bread?

[Thegoodthere]

Just that, really. I used to give them to the birds until I learnt that bread isn't good for birds, and they're a bit too dry to eat as part of a sandwich or toast, so what do you do? Just chucking them in food recycling seems wasteful. Have I been missing something obvious? Am I being too picky and should be eating them anyway?

Ends of bread make great toast! Their my favourite bit!

Eat it (toast)

Toast them & eat with lots of melted butter

Prefer the ends to dip in stew.

I put in the freezer and use for beans on toast when I realise we have run out of potatoes and that was plan A for DC supper.
You could also break into largish chunks and bake in oven on a low temp for an hour then whizz into breadcrumbs. I did this pre dc.

They make the best toast for beans on toast, cos they can absorb loads of extra butter!

Bread pudding. (But you need an egg, milk, vanilla essence, melted butter and sugar)!

Toast! We fight over them in our house.

Eat it! We used to fight for this as children as it was the best bit, ootie it was called. I can’t believe you’ve been binning them

How is any piece of bread too dry to toast? Crusts are great for toast, as it happens. With loads of butter, as PP have said.

Good for dipping in soup. I also breadcrumb stale bread. I always have a bag in the freezer of breadcrumbs. Also croutons are good; dice, toss in oil, bake. Add to soup or salad.

Either butter and eat as is if fresh crusty bread ... Or toast and lather in butter and eat .... Best bit of a loaf everyone fights over the heal in our house

Stick them in the food processor, make breadcrumbs and freeze. Use for breaded chicken, fish or stuffing straight from frozen.

Eat them! Like others have said, it makes great toast.

Cheese on toast.

Breadcrumbs!

Either eat them or throw them. It's only a few pence and loaves are heaper than rolls anyway. I like them.

Everyone fights over them for toast. How can they be too dry to toast

I eats 'em.

Favourite bit, I eat them straight away, neat, yum!

Toast it 😁

I use them as I would a slice of bread in a sandwich.

Ooh, thanks all! I like the sound of bread pudding. And soup dip. And maybe jammy toast. I'm not a fan of beans on toast but DC is, so will try that next time.

I just can't imagine enough butter to counterbalance the extra-dryness of end bread

If fresh baked bread they are devoured with butter.

If supermarket we bin them, though the oven breadcrumb idea sounds good as would always have a ready supply of breadcrumbs in the freezer.
