When you and/your family eat a loaf of bread,

[notoriousmeg]

The bottom and top piece end up meeting. I don't mind the end pieces but MH and DS won't eat them.

[Deleted]

I feed the end pieces to the kids because they don't know the difference yet.

[tulips]

Top end meets the bottom end and both ends end up getting thrown away.

[TrickyBob]

I hate end pieces so they always meet.

[mcmel]

If we were to ever finish a loaf the two butts would come together. Then, during desperate times one of us would eat the most pathetic bread butt sandwich of our lives.

[FastHands]

The heels meet. It drives me bonkers when ppl eat the first heel. The heel keeps the next slice fresher.

[Deleted]

Oh, but that's only if it's pre sliced bread. I love the heel of rye bread or baguettes, so I steal the ends, lol.

[celeste]

The end pieces always meet. My H claims it should be done that way because the top piece keeps the middle pieces from drying out as you make your way through the loaf.

George Carlin said it best: "I'm gonna eat the good pieces of bread. Screw my family, I'm looking out for Number One!"

[revolution]

They come together and then get thrown away when the good bread is gone. Unless DH wants a craft sandwich at some point,..He is a weirdo that likes them.

I actually like the heels well toasted with peanut butter on top. yummmm

[speckledfrog]

I don't eat the heel. MH eats them and so far the boys do, too.

[FastHands]

HW, His's post made me think of you but I didn't want to make a separate post -- how is your sister's kiddo?

[puppyluv]

Once the bag is opened, the end gets broken into smaller pieces for the dogs to eat.

[eb777888]

I always grab pieces in the middle (David is the only one who eats bread so I make sandwiches for him).

Just this morning he made himself a sandwich and grabbed the first two pieces- the butt and the second piece. He's SO picky when I'm making his food and asks that crusts be cut off but when he makes it himself, he will eat an ENTIRE PEICE OF CRUST. I learned something today. Fuck that shit!

[litebright]

I feed the heels to our dogs. They always get excited when I open or finish a loaf.

[jane6672]

Heels are left over.

I toast them up and make breadcrumbs for topping mac & cheese or whatever.

[meij]

I usually use them for grilled cheese for my kids (with the normal looking side facing out). They don't notice.

I nannied for a kid who called them bread lids. I still call them that ten years later!

[sawyerthedestroyer]

They meet and then get thrown in the freezer for the next time I forget to buy breadcrumbs.

My roommate wants to know which side you toast and PB on. The dark or light side?

The lighter side and I add a dollop of jam.

[lilibet]

I ends meet or I feed little bites to the dog throughout the loaf of bread. It's like the best thing ever to him.

same here
I also feel like leaving it keeps the next piece fresher

[livinitup]

I get a little happy when a random family member prefers the end/heel. It's like I'm doing them a FAVOR with the bread distribution.

If not, it's bird food or bread crumbs. Also useful.

Yes, I love the ends of crusty bread! A regular load, Frank loves to eat the ends and calls it butt bread.

[whitemerlot]

Ends meat.

I agree they keep the slices in the middle fresher.

Ditto...why don't we just throw out the top?

He MAKES HIS OWN SANDWICHES?

I know! H fed him today. He had him make his own sandwich. He not only made it himself but ate a whole piece of crust!!! I feel like I kinda got schooled, lol. I need to take a step back.

[cabbagecabbage]

They meet in the middle, keeping the slices fresh, and then go into the freezer bag holding my breadcrumb/croutons making stash.

This.  Then I eat the heels as toast, because they make the best toast.
