Very important bread question

[lightbulbsun]

When you start a loaf of bread, do you eat the end piece first, or save it until the end?

[melindafelinda]

I NEVER eat the end piece. Only communists do that.

[CityLights]

Unless we are talking about an Italian or French baguette I usually don't eat the ends at all. I know, very wasteful of me!

[BaileyAyres]

I just skip the end piece all together. For some reason though, I always leave it in the bag.

[DefenseAgainstTheDarkArts22]

If it's fresh bakery bread I eat it first. Like before the groceries are unpacked first. If it's just regular break like Aunt Millies I don't eat them at all.

I've never eaten the end piece either. I just leave it in there to protect all the normal slices from getting stale.

[margotmacomber]

I save the ends for last. They are my favorite, so it's always a mini celebration when I get to them. Best with PB&J.

[lightbulbsun]

lol, I don't eat the end piece either. I keep it in the bag until the end and then guiltily throw it out.

But H just started a new loaf of bread, and he used the end piece to make a sandwich. I thought it was weird.

I don't eat the heels. It's one of the best parts of being a grown up. That and ice cream for dinner.

[Jermys]

In only the direst of emergencies is the end piece eaten. And it has to be like the end of the world and food is getting scarce.

UNLESS it's really good French bread, in which case it's eaten immediately with shit tons of butter.

[BravoBravo]

The end pieces are just barriers to keep the rest of the bread soft in the bag.

[lucky513]

those two pieces are reserved for the birds
I dont eat them

[melindafelinda]

When I was a kid my mom never let me have the end piece of the french bread. She gave it to my brother because it was "the manly piece." Is that not the most fucked up thing ever? That's why I'm fat. Food shame.

I think you mean libertarians. I'm a commie and I NEVER eat the ends.

[iamgrace]

Depends on the bread.

[Mrs.Beagle]

If you eat the ends of a loaf of bread, you'll have a boy.

Also, the ends of the loaf suck, except for baguettes and loaves of Italian and garlic bread. Then they are very delicious.

yes! exactly! right down to the ice cream part.

[hubes]

I feed it to my kid. Seriously, I make him eat all the stuff I don't like. I'm genius.

[stupidcrafts]

We throw the heels away

[Deleted]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't eat the heels.

[cereal K]

I consider them the freshness preservers. They're meant to keep the other pieces like knew.

And yes, I know that this is completely ridiculous train of thought, but I've clung to it for this long, so, you know...

No, this is why I keep them, too! I think they keep the middle pieces less stale.

I do this too, even though I know that rationally it can't make that much of a difference.

QFT.

[broc]

I love the heels on bakery bread, but they're shitty little shit shavings on mass-produced stuff. Blech.

[Deleted]

Why would you eat the end pieces? They're gross.

[sneetch]

I agree with most - I never eat the ends unless I'm desperate and that's all that is left.

[Deleted]

I put PB on the ends and give it to the pup and she adores me for it.

Whut?? Manly piece? That doesn't even make sense. I'm sorry your mom hated you so much that she made up foolish lies to keep you from having the delicious end piece.
