When you open a fresh loaf

[jevs]

The ends on home made bread are the best, shop bought ends - not so best.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

Nope, I grab about the 2nd or 3rd slice behind it

 

[cornflkgrl]

of bread and got the heel staring at you, do you eat it ?

I take the two pieces behind it, and put it back, leaving the dilemma for the next person

Depends on my mood and if I have a ripe avocado.

 

[cornflkgrl]

You can eat those? I thought they were just a "shield of protection" for the middle pieces - kind of like part of the bag. They're always thrown away around here - If I'd known you liked them I'd have saved them for you! Do you also like chicken necks and the stumps off romaine lettuce?

I don't know about chicken, but the neck meat is the best part of a turkey.

unless it's warm freshly baked homemade bread, I leave the end in the bag.

We got through one loaf of bread a week. The ends are my ration of bread for the week. I'm watching carbs, so after rice and potaoes, bread is number three of the most evil foods you can eat.

I don't like the ends. I use them for bread crumbs or feed them to my gram. But even with her, I need to be sneaky about it. I face the inside out and the outside in, and make a grilled cheese type sandwich. If she actually sees that it's the heels, she won't eat it either.

 

[fly girl]

There's a running joke in our house about the heel.

Whomever eats the last good slice tells the other guy, "I left the heel for the heel."

Yes, we're dorks.

you sneak feed the heel to yuor grandma ? thats cold

 

[Gumbo4x4]

Always put the heel back unless it's French Toast day.

 

[MIGrandma]

Nope, I don't like the heels so I bypass the first one in a new loaf. DH doesn't mind them so he'll eat them if he's making his own sandwich. If I'm making them, and all that is left of the old loaf is the two heels I throw them away and start a new loaf.

Well, maybe the ends of the low quality bread that SOME people buy isn't tasty, but <I> only buy the good stuff.

Never tried chicken necks or romaine stumps, but I know for a fact they're better than chicken wings and kale.

This again... you know perfectly well you can't tell the difference if you don't see either the blue and red dots or the yellow label...anyhoo - how about cake hump? Do you like cake hump? Or the last bran flakes left in the box after all the raisins are gone?

Paybacks. You have no idea. She is not a nice person. Lol

Never before heard the term "heels" to refer to the ends of a loaf of bread.

These are heels. Bettie Page.

Cake hump???? That's another unknown term to me. Do you mean this?

If it makes you feel any better, I despise the crumbs and dust in the bottom of a cereal box.

I have those in 2 colours...the sling-backs and the pumps.

Ok, when I first open a new loaf I skip to the third & fourth slices because slice #2 is still sometimes kinda odd.
That being said I usually eat the heel/end pieces when I am only making a half sandwich. Kinda like a foldover. Heel pieces do make a good substitute for a hot dog bun in a pinch too.
