Bread end pieces

What do you do with those? Do you do I like do and reach past the first couple of pieces of bread? Are you supposed to eat those? The texture and even the taste is all wrong. When was still alive, I used to mix them with milk and feed it to him. Now I just tie them up with the bag and toss them in the trash when I'm done. What a situation that requires a choice between options that are or seem equally unfavorable or mutually exclusive.

I like to dip them in curry.

I make my boyfriend eat them for me.

I eat them, but thats what you do when you're poor.



ps - You remind me of Emilio Estevez in Loaded Weapon.

I'd feed them to the ducks.. if i in fact had some ducks..

but when the ducks are sleeping i do reach past the heels and get the gushy whole slices...

I've always been told that I am supposed to reach past the top end piece to help keep the "real" slices from getting dried, like a lame buffer zone. Then we would eat the end pieces when said "real" pieces are gone. I usually only chuck them if the bread is hanging around too long, the end pieces often seem to get moldier quicker than the others.

isnt that a bit... rough?

Masturbating ON them and WITH them are two different things. I've learned that the hard way...stupid cats.

If you're at all OCD like myself you go past it until the 2 ends are the only pieces left. That way you dont mess up your sandwich by 2 slices of different bread. I can't stand bread slices that don't match up correctly.

I hear ya. It makes me cry when I get a PB 'n J that has non-matching tops and jelly leaks out from the exposed interior surface area.

Poor man's butt implants

god i hate the ends
i wish someone would make bread without them and just toss in 2 good peices to take the place of them. they make bread without the crust so why not without the ends?

we should also talk about the ends of a hotdog. is anyone else scared of the nasty crimped up part?!?

I eat mine when I'm otherwise low on bread. I do, however, use one heel + one good piece of bread for those end-of-loaf sandwiches, since a two-heel sandwich is way too dry and bleah. I know I'm really poor when I'm putting the peanut butter I can manage to scrape out of an empty jar onto a bread heel and calling it dinner.

My mom used to save up bread heels until she had a whole sack of them in the freezer, and then use them to make bread pudding. Pudding, though, is disgusting, so my mom must have been insane.

I LOVE ends on fresh-baked bread. I'll fight for them. On store-bought bread...I leave the top end as sort of a stale-prevention device. when it gets down to just the two ends left...I'll use them for a sandwich...because it's stupid to throw out perfectly good food...especially when you buy good-quality, organic bread that costs $3.50 a friggin loaf.

Although they do resemble reverse buttholes, hotdog ends don't bug me much. It does gross me out when I'm chewing things of one consistency, and bite down on something of a different consistency. For instance, chewing a burger patty and finding something super hard or oddly chewy like a gummy bear in there.

I use them to make pizza toast. If they're stale, I give them to the birds. That keeps them from pecking out my eyes.

Is there a Rich Man's Texas Toast?

What you just described will actually make me stop eating for days at a time. When I find bits of shit in my food....ack.

Yeah. . .I was thinking the same thing. But then I was thinking, damn, I could go for some texas toast, but I don't have any cheese. Or money to buy cheese with.

I left them there! on the counter! they are filthy!

That's what I've heard. I've got a whip here... ready for your birthday lashings?

That's why I don't eat meat. Well... not unless it's really really processed like lunch meat, hot dogs, or bacon. The hard bits and chewy things scare the shit out of me.

For some reason knowing what kind of freaky things are in hot dogs doesn't bother me... as long as they grind it up properly.

I feed the heels to my dog.
