Food and Drink When you open a new package of sliced bread... - Page 2

...do you take the first end piece right away, or do you leave it for later and use 2 non-end pieces?

having crust on either end helps protect the fluffy white middle.

I prefer wheat.

I don't eat the heel and generally bypass the first non-heel piece too. It is noticeably drier than the more interior pieces. I leave them in place to protect the rest of the loaf. If we actually finish a loaf (a rarity in our house) that first non-heel piece will eventually get eaten. I'll even eat the heel in a pinch. Or if we make meatloaf or need fresh bread crumbs for another use, the heel is ideal.

I rarely eat the heel. It's good for croutons and bread crumbs. I usually buy whole wheat bread which is less likely to dry out, so that's not an issue.

I use the heel to protect the bread during it's life expectency.

If however I'm having an egg for breakfast one heel is the primary piece I use to dunk into the yolk. On the other heel I place the half eaten egg and eat it like a piece of pizza. After being toasted and buttered of course.

end pcs keep the bread more fresh

milkman · 07-24-2011, 05:41 PM

Depends on what I'm using the bread for.

A sandwich, I love the heels.

Toast, no.

Cooking for yourself is overrated.

I hate to cook, and thank heaven I have a wife to cook for me.

When I was single, I lived on fast food.

Bump · 07-24-2011, 11:59 PM

I rarely eat the end pieces, 9/10 they get thrown away.

**TimeForWasp** · 07-25-2011, 04:41 AM

The ends are the best thing since sliced bread.

Yep.

And Buck, those pieces of bread are called the "heel".
